Language Arts
This week, we will be finishing up both the nonfiction reading unit and personal essay writing unit. The children are publishing their essays in writing and working closely with partners to revise and edit their writing.
Math
Students will be learning about factor pairs and determining which numbers are prime and which numbers are composite and even some that are square numbers. They will also be playing games that involve multiplication and division in order to solidify their facts.
Social Studies
This week will bring us to the end of our unit on culture and global citizenship. Students will be sharing their presentations with a partner, taking notes on their partner's culture and comparing and contrasting how similar and different their culture is from their partner. They will also reflect on how understanding different cultures makes them better global citizens.
