Weekly Learning Goals & Tasks

English Literacy

Learning Goal

Writing about Reading

What readers & writers are doing at school...

We are launching a new Writing Unit where our students will read with more intensity, and we will equip them with tools they need to write expository essays that advance an idea about a piece of literature. We will start by teaching the value of close reading of complex text by noticing details in a text such as the setting, objects, words, metaphors and characters selected by the author.

Learning Goal

Students will learn different strategies that help them to solve 3 and 4 digit subtraction.

What mathematicians are doing at school...

Module 2 : Students will build on what they learned about addition in module 1 as the focus shifts to subtraction. Problem string and story problems will help students deep in the grasp of subtraction strategies including difference versus removal and constant difference. Students will learn standard algorithms for subtraction and compare it to other strategies they have explored.
