Math
We have just kicked off Unit 2 on multiplication and division. Students are learning new strategies to multiply and divide along with writing equations for word problems, applying multiplication and division to identify the dimensions and area of rectangles. We are also identifying similar polygons and finding their area during Number Corner. A letter went home on Jan. 13 with detailed information and examples of this unit's math content.
Reading
This is our Reader's Theater week and the kids love to play a part. We are working on using punctuation to pause while fluently reading.

Science/Health
Science will be following our personal narrative unit.
Social Studies
Every Friday we log into Flocabulary to Watch Week in Rap Junior which covers current events. We've been learning a lot about the environment and climate change. This has lead to some passionate in class discussion where students have, unknowingly, been supporting their opinions with evidence based on prior knowledge and content from the news broadcast.
