Curriculum

Math- We continue with Module 1 in Eureka Math. Module 1 covers Properties of Multiplication and Division. We will take MAP math on Tuesday. We started using the website to practice fluency. I told the students I would include it in the blog so they could practice at home. https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/math-trainer-multiply.html

Language Arts- We continue to focus on questioning before, during and after reading stories. We will also continue to focus on how characters' traits, motivations and feelings contribute to the development of the plot in stories and story elements. We continue our writing unit on personal narratives. We will also focus on common and proper nouns. 

Social Studies-  We will start learning about the different regions in SC. 

Science- We will continue discussing adaptations that plants and animals have in the Grasslands and look at food chains as well.
