What We Are Learning

Reading:

  • This month in reading we are beginning Unit 4. We will read both
    realistic fiction and informational texts. Our key skills are making
    inferences, asking questions about the text, and identifying point
    of view. We will also expand what we know about figurative
    language and use it to write our own realistic fiction stories.

Math:

  • Students are beginning a new module in our math curriculum. We
    will be working multiplying and dividing with 0, 1, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Science:

  • 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
    science texts about traits, relatedness, inheritance, and the
    influence of the environment on traits.

Essential Skills

  • Relationship Skills: focus on developing the
    interpersonal skills needed to establish and
    maintain positive relationships.

 

By the end of the unit students will learn how
to:

  • Give and receive compliments in a genuine manner
  • Use attentive listening skills to foster better communication
  • Demonstrate cooperative behaviors in a group, e.g., listen, encourage, acknowledge opinions, compromise, reach consensus
  • Recognize the difference between helpful and harmful behaviors in friendships
