Reading- We will be looking at context clues as the last week of expository unit. We will focus on looking at key words to give us clues to the meaning of difficult vocabulary. There will be a quiz on Thursday. We will wrap up our unit on Informational text and have a post test over all the concepts and skills we have been working on these last 6 weeks. Major Grade Expository Test Friday.
Writing- This week we will combine what we have learned during grammar practice and writing workshop to write our 2nd cycle of Expository Writing. We are focusing on adding specific details to better explain our reasons. We will also take a grammar passage for a grade on Wednesday.
Math – This week students will be using division to solve problems and developing an appropriate problem solving strategy to solve a problem that includes multiple steps. Students will also learn how to use the “Big 7” method for long division as well as the division algorithm. Continue working on math fact fluency!
