Learning this Week:
P2: This week we will work on the character strength of Humor, how laughter and you can bring smiles to others.
ELA & Writing: This week we will focus on the text structure of Problem and Solution. Our focus will be on identifying in a passage how the author expresses a problem and how to find solution based on the issue.
Math: We will continue work with adding and subtracting fractions this week and begin working with mixed numbers.
Monday-Adding unlike fractions with tenths and hundreths
Tuesday-Subtracting fractions with like denominators in number stories
Wednesday-Dividing an area into parts based on a number story and create an addition problem with fractions
Thursday-March is reading month celebration
Science: We will continue our work with energy and movement by analyzing how roller coasters move and continue moving without an automated motor. This will help explore how hills can store energy and the correlation between the slope of a hill and the speed a roller coaster has.
Social Studies:This week we will finish our last lesson in our unit focusing on human geography of the United States. Big ideas from this lesson are:
- The United States is rich in natural resources which include fertile soil, water, forests, and a wide variety of minerals.
- These resources have greatly influenced the growth and development of the country.
- Many important human activities have developed from the use of these resources including farming, mining, lumbering, and manufacturing.
