Literacy: Students will work in differentiated stations and small groups to practice finding the main idea and supporting details in paragraphs. We will also begin inferring the main idea when it is not explicitly stated in the text. Towards the end of the week, students will use text features to infer the main idea of a short text. During the writing block, we will also begin writing Prose Constructed Responses (writing about reading).
Math: Students took the Unit 1 math assessment today. Tomorrow, they will take the Unit 2 pre-test and we will begin Unit 2 on Wednesday. You can expect Home Links for 2.1 and 2.2 as homework this week. Unit 2 focuses on multiplication strategies and converting between units.
Science: We will finish our first Social Studies unit early in the week and begin our first science unit. In our first science unit, students will study energy. During the beginning of the unit, students will learn the components of a complete circuit. They will also explore how to create a compete circuit with their science groups.
