Now that cold weather is here, it’s important for students to dress appropriately for the conditions. Students need to wear a winter jacket to school and also bring a hat and gloves.

Learning Focus

Math-Unit 5:

In this unit, students explore the whole in fractions as well as adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. Students use these computation skills to answer questions about line plots. They are also introduced to adding tenths and hundredths. Students build on their knowledge of rays to explore unit iteration for angles.

Reading- UNIT 4-Eureka! Student Inventor

During the Unit 4 Quest, students read informational texts, pulling evidence and details

to support arguments. Reading activities are concentrated in the first half of this unit.

Students will read biographical articles about eight inventors, detailed histories of

important inventions, and scientific explanations of simple machines.
