What are we learning?
Math
In math, learners will begin representing numbers (up to 100,000) in multiple ways and compare them based on their place value. Learners will explain the relationship in the base-ten system, and represent this relationship using expanded notation.
Language Arts
In reading, learners will explore our first Jr. Great Books "The Banza". During this story, we will generate questions about the text, prove our answers using the text, and have a great debate. In writing, learners will continue setting up Writers Workshop, and begin cursive writing!
Science
In science, learners will investigate mixtures and their physical properties. They will describe and classify matter, understand that heating and cooling can change the properties of matter, as well as how solids, liquids, and gases differ.
Social Studies
In social studies, learners will discuss the reasons that people form communities and learn what needs a community has.
