• English Language Arts & Literacy (ELAL): 

  • Reading: This week, we will be focusing on perspectives in texts. 

  • Writing: Students will start learning about figurative language. 

• Math: This week, students will continue multiplication.

  • • Students are practicing to use the standard algorithm to solve 3-digit by 2-digit numbers. Here is a video that explains the standard algorithm for anyone who wants to practice at home. 

    • For students who find the steps of the standard algorithm confusing, I recommend this method. We have practiced it in class, and students can choose which method they are most successful with. 

• Science: We are continuing our Space unit. This week, we are learning about the moon. 

• Social Studies: Students are exploring the government structures of ancient civilizations. We are learning about authoritarian governments.
