Curriculum 

Math- We continue in Module 4: Multiplication and Area. We will have a quiz over lessons 5-8 on Friday. The students are using the website below in class that can help them with their subtraction, addition, multiplication and division fluency. If they have time at home they can practice as well.

Language Arts- We will start looking at Theme and how to identify it in texts. We will also be reading the story "Castle on Viola Street" from the reading series. We will start our first mentor sentence. This is a sentence that comes from a text I read to the class and focuses on grammar and parts of speech. We will focus on possessive nouns and adjectives. We will continue informational writing with topics the students are experts on. 

Social Studies- We will continue discussing the Revolutionary War. The students will have a quiz over what we have discussed so far on Wednesday. 

Science- We will continue our unit on Soil. Thank you to everyone who sent in supplies for our edible soil!
