Curriculum Updates Papers came home today!
Reading: We are continuing the Ranger in Time: Rescue on the Oregon Trail novel. We are answering deeper level comprehension questions in writing. We are also adding social studies related facts that are mentioned to our notes for a future project on westward expansion in the 1800s.
Math: We are working on 2x2 digit multiplication. Time is being spent gaining accuracy, confidence, and independence. We also started a daily "Leaping Numbers" pattern challenge. Esti-mysteries are such a hit and a great way to incorporate many math skills, so we are doing more of those.
Language Arts: We wrote letters to our 8th grade buddies and look forward to their responses! Our Macy's Day Parade balloons are under way! We have typed persuasive essays and are now crafting the balloon for a fun hallway display.
Social Studies: This week, we analyzed maps of the United States territory acquisitions. As we "move" westward on our map, we are learning about the growth and labeling our map. We added information to our notes for a future project a the end of the unit.
