Oct 28th – 31st
Halloween & Red Ribbon Week
English Language Arts (ELA)
Next week in ELA, we will explore the wonderful world of folktales. By analyzing the plot, setting, and themes of these traditional stories, students will deepen their understanding of narrative structure and literary elements. Additionally, we will focus on contractions to strengthen our skills. Our work on our spooky Halloween stories will also continue as students refine their creative writing abilities.
Mathematics
In math, we are expanding our number sense by working on comparing decimals and rouding them to the thousandths. Students will explore the relationship between decimals and place value, learning to fluently round decimals. We will also revisit the concept of powers of ten, building on our previous lessons to solidify our understanding of this important mathematical principle.
Science
Our science exploration is focused on Earth’s intricate systems. We will delve into the geosphere (the solid Earth), the biosphere (the living world), the cryosphere (the frozen parts of the planet), the hydrosphere (the water cycle), and the atmosphere (the gaseous envelope surrounding the Earth). By understanding how these systems interact, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the complex and dynamic nature of our home planet.
Thanks!
