In math, we are finishing learning about fractions today and taking a short quiz tomorrow. Be sure to check the blog for anchor charts! On the quiz, students will be asked to name fractions, find equivalent fractions, and compare and order fractions. Next we will begin our unit on measurement. Students will learn how to measure with a ruler, understand inches, feet, yards, and miles.

In reading, we are continuing to learn about Close Reading and using R.A.P.P for constructed response questions. This week we will start to focus on facts versus opinion.

In writing, we are going to begin to study different grammar skills and writing mechanics. We will be working on skills such as punctuating dialogue and capitalizing proper nouns.
