HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES

Students will inquire into different forms of artistic expression, how people interpret and respond to the arts in unique ways, and how their own memories, ideas, and identities can inspire creative work. They will have opportunities to express themselves through various art forms and reflect on both their own creations and those of others, developing appreciation, empathy, and respectful communication in the process. They will connect their learning through field trips to museums, murals, and natural settings that highlight cultural expression and diversity.

CRAFTING FICTION

Students will explore the power of storytelling by reading and writing a variety of narratives. They will learn to ask questions, make inferences, and visualize events to understand texts deeply. As they read, they’ll notice how authors build characters, settings, and plot. These reading strategies will support their own writing as they create stories with strong structure, voice, and detail. Students will grow as both readers and writers, confidently crafting and sharing meaningful narratives.

NUMBER & NUMBER SENSE

Students will explore the base-10 system and understand that a digit’s value depends on its place—thousands, hundreds, tens, or ones, and begin to investigate decimals. They count in steps, compare numbers, and identify patterns with odd, even, and multiples of 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100. Students round numbers, find missing values in sequences, and make general statements about sums and differences. They also learn to double two-digit numbers, building strong number sense and growing confidence.

PATTERN & FUNCTION

Students will investigate patterns and relationships in numbers. They will describe, extend, and create patterns using all four operations. They will identify rules, use symbols, and make predictions. Students will apply the commutative and associative properties to simplify addition and multiplication. They will understand how multiplication relates to repeated addition and division to repeated subtraction. They will use inverse operations to check their work and solve problems. This unit builds strong thinking skills and a deep understanding of number relationships.
