What are we learning?
Math
In math, we will continue our multiplication and division unit. After talking about what multiplication is and what a multiplication chart looks like, we will continue learning about ways to represent multiplication. We will learn to represent multiplication on a number line, equal groups, arrays, and repeated addition. We will also introduce our "fact fluency" timed practice that we will be doing each week. This will not be a grade of any sort, just a way to practice and reinforce memorizing multiplication facts.
Language Arts
In reading, learners will understand and analyze the elements and types of poetry. We will also work with our book clubs on comprehension strategies. In spelling we will cover dropping the final "e" when adding "ing" to a word.
In writing, we will begin our unit on poetry. Learners will identify sensory details and describe the imagery in poems.
