What are we learning?
Math
In math, we will finish our area and perimeter unit. We will practice finding the area of composite figures by partitioning, using the same formula, and the additive property of addition. We will then begin our geometry unit where we will sort and classify 2D and 3D shapes by their attributes.
Language Arts
In language arts we are continuing to explore nonfiction texts. We will overview nonfiction text features and how they help us understand what we are reading. We will also dive into main idea and focus on finding supporting details.
Science
In Science, we will finish our second ADI (argument driven inquiry). This is a student led research and investigation project. They will work together in a group to research, develop a claim, collect data, and justify their evidence to highlight a pattern between climate and latitude in countries around the world. The students have developed a claim and collected data, so our last steps will be to make an argument board and write a report. Towards the end of the week we will start our next unit.
