This week we are discussing random acts of kindness and how we can take small moments to do kind things for others, even strangers! Ask your student what their thoughts are on the following video (we watched this in class today). Enjoy!
This week...
Science: In our science workshop, students will be able to explain how animals are classified based on their characteristics.
Writing: This week we are revising, editing, and publishing their 2nd research report. We will be celebrating our finished work on Wed. Dec. 9th!
Math: This week in math, we are working on multiplying decimals by powers of 10, problem solving by looking at patterns, multiplication properties, estimating quotients, and dividing decimals by whole numbers.
Social Studies: We are comparing and contrasting the first European and Spanish explorers.
Reading: We are looking at comparing and contrasting what authors say and how they say it by looking at a variety of texts on the same topic. We will focus on how readers don't just think about information in a text, they also try and figure out the perspective of the author of the text and how they may be swaying you to think a certain way.
