Reading: In reading, we are learning about poetry and figurative language. The two really go hand in hand.
Math: We are finishing up Topic 9, which teaches adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. We will be testing this week, and moving on to Topic 10, which focuses on multiplying fractions.
Social Studies: We've moved on to learning about the Midwest region! We will be discussing our connections and comparing and contrasting the Midwest with the Southeast and Northeast regions.
Writing: In writing, we will be learning how to write an Opinion essay. This is my favorite unit to teach in writing!
