Class this Week

Math- We are starting Unit 5: Fractions as Numbers. In this unit, students develop an understanding of fractions as numbers and of fraction equivalence by representing fractions on diagrams and number lines, generating equivalent fractions, and comparing fractions.

Reading- This week we will focus on Unit 8: Comparing and Contrasting We will work on finding similarities and differences in our texts this week. We will find these elements between characters, settings and the events in the story. 

Writing- Students used their biography notes and essay to complete their final project. The kids will  now have the opportunity to present their project to their classmates either live or with a video.
