What are we learning?

Math

In math, learners will continue representing numbers (up to 100,000) in multiple ways and compare and order them based on their place value. Learners will explain the relationship in the base-ten system, and represent this relationship using expanded notation. We will practice writing numbers in standard form, expanded form, word form, and drawing them using base 10 blocks. 

Language Arts

In language arts, we are focusing on essential comprehension skills including retelling, using context clues, and predicting. 

Science

In science, learners will continue to investigate matter and its 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 be looking at the impact that various cultures have within a community. They will be comparing different cultural celebrations.
