Happy Friday! We have had a crazy week filled with snow, power outages, and delays, but students have come back ready to learn. We jumped back into learning immediately and are moving along. :)
In ELA, we have been reading informational text about frogs. We have been focusing on making connections between different parts of text and researching how different frogs' adaptations help them to survive. Next week students will take their research and write an informational paragraph. We will wrap up unit 2 with a post test on Wednesday, and start Unit 3 on Thursday. Unit 3 focuses on research and writing 4 paragraph essays on adaptations.
We have been exploring 2 step word problems involving multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction this week. This is a hard skill, but students have been working hard to make sense of what problems are asking. We will add in multiplying by multiples of 10 next week, in addition to all of the problem solving. We will wrap up this unit at the end of the week with an end of unit assessment. Our next unit will be on geometry.
In social studies we began a unit on Economics. We have been learning all about goods and services, wants and needs, and entrepreneurs. We will learn about how businesses can affect communities, franchises, and natural resources next week.
