Upcoming Dates
Math
We are dividing, but we’re not divided! We are all in unity with learning about representing division. It’s all about equal shares, so your kiddo is going to learn lots of lessons about how to divvy things up evenly, and we know those younger siblings out there say thank you! We say you’re welcome. Repeated subtraction (subtracting over and over until we get to zero), using a number line to show division (starting on the dividend - big number - jumping backwards by the divisor until we get to 0 and then counting those jumps), and putting items into equal groups are all ways we can represent this last but not least operation in math. We’re all around that campfire singing Kumbaya and making sure everyone has an equal share, and it’s going to be EPIC!
Science
And for our final act in “Name That Force”…Friction! And it’s a force to be reckoned with! We will be exploring different surfaces and how they affect the speed and motion of an object.
Reading/Writing
We are deep into our informational/expository unit. During reading this week we will use our knowledge of NonFiction Text Features to make an “All About Me.”
During writing we are continuing our expository essay writing. Last week we focused more on diagraming texts that were written by other authors. This week we will use expert writing as a model to draft our own work.
In grammar, we will build on our work with complete sentences to focus on punctuation!
Social Studies
We will continue learning about our United States government, historical documents, and our founding fathers. We will take a closer look at the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and U. S. Constitution. We will also explore the three branches of government and learn more about our founding fathers.
