What We Are Learning

Math:

Students will continue to focus on rounding at the start of this week while also practicing their multi-digit subtraction with strategies. After rounding, we move from place value understanding into our multiplication introduction unit. Students will define multiplication and think of multiplication in different ways, such as multiplicative comparisons. Ex: 30 is 6 times as many as 5 because 30=6x5.

What We Are Learning

ELA:

Students are learning this week the order of adjectives in sentences. Students will learn and discuss that they often use more than one adjective to describe a noun, However, there is a correct way to put the adjectives in order. The rank is opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. We will practice this skill all week. For reading, we are still focusing on informational texts while determining the main idea, summarizing and drawing inferences. However, the main focus is knowing that summarizing is restating the main idea and key details, which is crucial for students to deepen the understanding of the information they read.
