ELA We will continue our study of cultures and traditions. We will be reading What If I Had Animal Teeth. Students will be choosing animal teeth and then writing an argumentative piece on why they think the animal teeth they chose are the best to have. We will also be writing about a New Year's Resolution.
Make sure to read for 20 days (20 min each day) and record it in the December Reading Log. Logs are due January 7.
SPELLING Menus will go home when we return on January 7th.
SOCIAL SCIENCE We will continue our unit on Balancing Forces. We will continue Chapter 2. Students will read a short fictional story about 2 sisters discussing and investigating magnets. This lesson reinforces concepts about magnets and provides the opportunity to make sense of a data table.
MATH Ms. Zurales' Math class will begin Unit 4, Measurement & Fractions.
Our next Multiplication facts will be the 10s. This quiz will be after the break. It's never too early to start practicing. Flash cards are a great resource!
