Welcome back from vacation!

The class will begin new units in Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies.

Language Arts

Students will begin a study of nonfiction reading. In this unit students will determine the main idea of a text as well as recount key details.  Then students will explain how the details support the main idea. Students will read about explorers and connect their learning of explorers in social studies to their knowledge of reading nonfiction materials.

                              

                                       


Social Studies
Students will identify the reasons why people explore and what qualities are needed to be an explorer. Students will determine how exploration helped the development of the Americas. The Vikings will be the first group of explorers which students will learn about.

                                     


             

Math

Students will begin their study of multiplication by learning multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10. Students will transfer their knowledge of skip counting and doubling to multiplication. After this students will delve into word problems with multiplication.
