Reading: I can understand what I read by making pictures in my mind, thinking about point of view, noticing parts of drama, and figuring out the meaning of idioms, adages, and proverbs.
Writing: I can write an opinion essay by using persuasive language, completing my draft, and revising it with punctuation for effect, strong support, and feedback from others.
Math: Students will extend their understanding of addition, subtraction, and multiplication into fractions and mixed numbers.
Science: I can develop and use models to show how light and sound travel and explain how they can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through different materials.
