2025 - 2026
September - October:
Math: PBL: My Math Auto Biography: Students demonstrated their understanding of arrays by folding a piece of paper into a 3x3 array. Next, each student thinks of a number that represents them in some way and adds one number to each box in their array (9 numbers total). These numbers could be their birthday, amount of items in a specific collection (like hair scrunchies), house number, plane rides, etc. Students are encouraged to choose numbers that are unique to them and represent a their personality, interests and experiences. Finally, students are asked to create a multi-step word problem using all of their numbers and all 4 math operations, or to use their prior knowledge of math concepts to represent their numbers through a design on graph paper. This could be a graph, multiple arrays, or scene using area and perimeter.
Reading: We are exploring folktales while learning about literary elements such as key words, ideas, feelings, symbols/images. Students completed a complicated vocabulary analysis using the story Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plains. Etymology which is the study of word origins along with analyzing a word's components will also be a focus. Answering questions while using text evidence will be a skill we practice often. Throughout the year we are going to be reading many different types of literature. The document below lists all of the titles. It will be updated as needed.
