What We Are Learning

Reading:

• Students are working on reading and understanding expository text and writing a realistic fiction narrative. Our focus skills are comparing/contrasting and identifying text features.

Math:

• Students are beginning a new topic within Module 3. We will continue working on multiplying and dividing with 0,1,6,7,8, and 9. We will also continue to practice strategies out to help us multiply and divide.

Science:

• Students will assume the role of wildlife biologists solving the
  mystery of how one wolf has some traits that are similar and
  different from 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.
