Curriculum Highlights
Math: This week we continue to work on area model and partial products with 2 digit by 2 digit. We also reviewed area and perimeter. Students should practice their math facts nightly to help reinforce concepts in class.
Reading: We have introduced a new signpost this week called Contrasts and Contradictions. I have been enjoying conferencing with students to hear about some of the great independent reading choices they are making.
Writing: Today we administered our benchmark assessment focusing on narrative writing. It is great to see many of the elements taught in class applied to their work.
Social Studies: This week we are exploring indigenous groups such as the Mayans and Aztecs. Students read and filled out graphic organizers on groups. We look forward to sharing these out soon.
