Parent Newsletter
Ms. Martin sends out a parent newsletter each week with many important announcements about TCE. Click here to check out this weeks newsletter.

What are we learning?

Math
In math, we will start to make the connection between multiplication and division. We will discuss division being the inverse operation to multiplication and review division strategies including repeated subtraction, number lines, equal groups, and arrays. 


Language Arts
In Language Arts, learners will continue to learn strategies on how to find the main idea in a non fiction text. Learners will also be learning about cause and effect and apply strategies in their reading. 



In writing learners will continue to write using non fiction text features while working on their Social Studies research project. We will also be working on making our writing contain more details and more vivid verbs.



Science
In Science, learners will finish up their rapid changes research by creating a survival guide for the natural disaster of their choice. They have researched earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and landslides. Now, they will pick the natural disaster of their choice and create a presentation about it and tips to survive it. Towards the end of the week learners will explore and record how soil is formed by weathering of rock and the decomposition of plant and animal remains. 


Social Studies
In Social Studies learners will continue working on their research for their historical or contemporary figure.
