Learning highlights this week:

Math: We will continue to explore working with dollar amounts as well as working out solving for unknown amounts (algebra beginnings). We will be working with subtraction as students are given a budget to buy groceries.

Language Arts: Students chose Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as their Fantasy genre novel, a delicious book written by Roald Dahl. Students will also continue to work on increasing their sentence writing fluency, one of the six traits of good writing that we are targeting.

Science: Students will be exploring solutions and solubility using the scientific method.

Social Studies: We will be begin an investigation into resources and resource management both past and present to later feature in a museum exhibit.

Here's to a great week of learning

Yours,
Ms Powers and Ms Bridal
