This will be the learning happening after Thanksgiving Break.

Reading: I can read and understand different types of texts—like argumentative texts and biographies—by identifying the main ideas, finding supporting details, and noticing figurative language to help me better understand the author’s message.   

Writing: I can write an opinion essay and support it with strong reasons, facts, and examples. 

Math:  I can add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. 

Science:  I can explain how seismic waves cause movement and changes on Earth’s surface. I can identify different landforms and how they change.

Social Studies: I can connect how the design of the longhouse shows the importance of family and community in Iroquois culture.
