What are we learning?
Math
In math, we will officially be moving on to 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication. We will be learning a few different strategies including the Distributive Property/Partial Products, Area Models, and the Standard Algorithm. There are strategy videos on our websites to better understand how we will be teaching these methods. If you would like your child to watch the videos over the weekend as "flipped learning" so that they will be familiar with the strategies as we learn them next week, that would be great! You can also find these strategy videos here. We will continue with our "fact fluency" timed practice. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday will be retake days for past quizzes. New quizzes will be taken on Wednesdays and Fridays. This will not be a grade of any sort, just a way to practice and reinforce memorizing multiplication facts. Additionally, we will get some more practice with multi-step multiplication word problems.
Language Arts
In reading we will have a scavenger hunt to review our non fiction text features. We will be setting up our BULB websites with the help of our camps Digital Learning Coach specialist. We will continue to work on book clubs and reviews biographies.
In writing we will continue our gratitude journals.

Science
In Science, learners will begin our new unit on Earth's surface. They will take their pretest at the beginning of the week. We will then begin our unit by investigating rapid changes in Earth’s surface such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and landslides.
Social Studies
In Social Studies learners will begin to research historical and contemporary figures and be able to identify how Our past is related to the present, how heros, scientists, entrepreneurs, and inventors have certain characteristics and how Science and technological developments affect our community and citizens in a positive way.
