Dear Parents,

Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: 
We have all begun our new novels or short stories. The students are now reading in groups and having wonderful discussions about their books. They are talking about connections, predictions, characters, and most importantly THEMES (life lessons). More to come on themes soon...

Math:
We will be continuing our work with multiplication, becoming more effective and accurate with multi digit problems.  We will also start reviewing long division and move towards solving problems with double digit divisors.

Unit of Study: 
Students will begin to understand that individuals have rights, responsibilities and roles in relation to broader society. We will discuss our deserted island simulations from early in the year and talk about the advantages of government systems.
