Hi, parents! I wanted to remind you all that we have our field trip on Wednesday, March 20, this week.
Important dates for the next few weeks:
- 3/20 – Field Trip
- 3/22 – No School
Curriculum
Students will:
- Understand the function of homonyms v. homophones and and their functions in language.
- Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
- Demonstrate an understanding of informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.
- Describe the relationship between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect.
This week, we completed a unit on literal and nonliteral meanings and phrases. We took a trip to Lizard Island in science. We dipped our toe in equivalent fractions. We also used RACES to respond to questions and write the beginning of informational text pieces. Next week we will start our preparation for year end testing.
