Next week: We will discover media techinques and explore figurative language in our text as well as learn about homophones and begin drafting our descriptive writing.

This week: We learned a few strategies to multiply multidigit numbers. We learned partial products, area model and array model.
Next Week: We will use standard algorithm to mulitply numbers. We will be doing this ALL week because we will need the practice!
Here is a video on area model and the parent letter for his unit.

This Week : We explored magnetism as a property of matter, conducting experiments to see which objects are magnetic and which are not. We found out how to use a magnet to sort objects into groups, and how engineers use magnets to make trains levitate!
Next Week : We will explore mixtures, what they are made of, and how mass of individual objects is conserved when they are created.
