In Math we've been studying whole numbers and decimals. In the coming weeks, we'll be learning more about how to compare, order, add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals. Encourage your child to continue to practice their basic math facts. We have finished our Social Studies unit on the Civil War and have now begun our Science unit on Plant and Animal Classification, Cells, and Heredity. In the next few weeks, we'll be finishing our mentor text in Literacy (Steal Away Home by Lois Ruby) and writing several types of writing including an opinion piece on the importance of reading.
