Sept 30th – Oct 4th
This week in math we will be learning all about place value in preparation for operations with decimals. Students will learn that for both whole numbers and decimals, a digit in one place not only has ten times the value it would have in the place to its right, but also has one-tenth the value it would have in the place its left. This means we will be using the multiplication and division skills we have been learning the past few weeks to expand our knowledge of numbers.
In ELA, we are practicing rereading to compare text structures, with a special focus on problem and solution, while we consider the question “What do good problem solvers do?” Please help your child remember to read for 20 minutes every day at home!
In science, we are finishing our study of weathering and erosion and will get to do some hands-on experimenting with this topic. We hope it will be a lot of fun!
