Here's what we are Learning!
MATH
In math, we are currently learning multiplication and division. We are becoming better mathematicians by learning different strategies to divide and multiply. We will also be learning the relationship between multiplication and division. Soon, we will be diving deeper into solving one- and two-step word problems using all four operations( addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Please encourage your student to learn and memorize their multiplication facts. Flashcards are a great tool for this!

LITERACY
In December, we are continuing our nonfiction unit. We will be working on text structure. This means trying to determine if a nonfiction text is written in chronological order, cause and effect, description, problem and solution or comparing and contrasting. We are also working on annotating nonfiction texts looking for the important parts: text features, main idea, and text structure.

Science
In science we are exploring Earth and other objects that we may find in the solar system. The 8 planets, the Sun, and the moon and how everything works. We will also be exploring shadows and how and why they are caused. Students will be able to explain how day and night are caused as well as what causes the seasons.
