What We Are Learning

Reading:

• This month in our Wonders curriculum we are beginning our last genre study and will be reading/writing biographies. Students will read several biographies about important figures and write their own about either Walt Disney or Amelia Earhart. Our focus skill is identifying problem and solution.

Math:

• Students will continue to work on multiplication, division, and will begin learning about area of shapes and fractions.

Science: Unit 2 Inheritance and Traits

• Students will assume the role of wildlife biologists solving the
  mystery of how one wolf has some traits that are similar to and some that are quite
  different from those of the rest of its pack. Students conduct investigations and analyze data in order to
  figure out patterns in traits between parents and offspring.
  Students will ask questions and obtain information as they read
  texts about traits, relatedness, inheritance, and the
  influence of the environment on traits.

Essential Skills

• We will continue to work on problem solving skills, compromising, steps for creating a solution, and how to make healthy choices!
