This week’s skill is differentiating common and proper nouns.
Math: This week in Math we begin our study of Unit 2: Multiplication and Division Problems. Module 6/7 is titled divide by 1 digit numbers. We will not be using IntoMath. We will be learning how to do standard division. Modules 6 and 7 will be combined as they are teaching the same skill. Please encourage your child to use graph paper to help them line up their columns. It is vital that your child knows their multiplication facts, a few minutes of fact review at home daily is extremely beneficial. There will be a quiz on Thursday 11-7 and a test on 11-8. Please help them Helpful handouts, videos, charts, reteach pages, and the HW can all be found on Google Classroom and are excellent resources.

Social Studies: This week we will continue Chapter 3- Three World Meet. We will continue looking at what life was like in colonial NY.
Science: This week in science we will begin our next unit of study, The Birth of Rocks. Students will generate observations and questions about the phenomenon found at Ashfall Fossil Beds and create an initial explanation to explain what killed the prehistoric animals, how their bones ended up underground, and what changes happened to the land that uncovered their fossils.
