Math: We will continue through Unit 5. We will cover lessons 5.3-5.5 which go over comparing/ordering fractions and how to find equivalent fractions. There will be NO MATH on Wednesday, due to the Robert Crown presentation.
Writing: We will continue to focus on character traits and begin to write a story in which we exaggerate a specific character trait of their choice.
Reading/Novels: We will continue working on Activating/ Connecting our knowledge with our Reader Response notebooks. We will be reading more non-fiction articles and merge our prior knowledge with our new knowledge. We will use post-its to keep track of our thinking.
IMPORTANT:
There will be no monthly letter for the month of December.
