Math - We are now in Module 3 and learning to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. Here is a great parent tip sheet for this unit.
Reading - Students each have a copy of the graphic novel Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood by Nathan Hale. This will support our social studies unit. Any reading from this DOES count toward the required 20 mins of nightly reading.
Here are some great questions to ask your child after they finish reading their novel or listening to their audio book each night.
Writing - Students are researching to write their Difference Makers Fair reports. I have a handful of students who are done! Wow! Ask your child about his/her research. Extra work sessions will be held during lunch and recess for students who need to catch up.
Science - Coming soon ... ⚡Electricity! Static vs current electricity and simple circuits.
Social Studies - World War I. There are so many great sources out there, I don't even know where to begin! If you watch a YouTube video or documentary about WWI and want to share, leave a comment below for others.
