ELA

In reading and writing, we have finished Unit 1. Students have read several narrative nonfiction texts, realistic fiction texts, and argumentative texts. Students have also written a personal narrative and they are finishing up an opinion paper about the positive and negative effects of teen social media use. We will share this work with you at conferences.

Math

We are wrapping up our Unit 2 math instruction. Students have learned several strategies to solve multi-digit multiplication problems and long division problems.

Science and Social Studies

We finished our first Science Unit: Matter in Ecosystems and we will be starting our first Social Studies Unit over Native Americans next week.
