Math:
This week we will introduce the relationship between multiplication and division.
We will use this strategy if we want to determine if a word problem is multiplication or division:
We will also work with combinations.
For example: Mark wants to choose one sandwich and one drink for lunch. There are 3 kinds of sandwiches: peanut butter, tuna, and turkey. There are 3 kinds of drinks: grape juice, milk, and orange juice. How many different combinations of a sandwich and a drink are there?
Students have been working on their fluency with math facts. It would be very beneficial if they continued to practice at home. Reflex Math is a great tool but just practicing flashcards is also worthwhile. You can find flashcards at the dollar store, Target, or Walmart.
Science:
We will conduct an experiment on changing solids to liquids using chocolate! (yum!) We will discuss the different states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. We will also ask the question: What conditions affect evaporation? We will use wet paper towels to look at evaporation.

Solving
Story Problems
Remember 3 questions:
1. How many groups?
1. How many groups?
2. How many in each group?
3. How many in all?
If you know the answers to 1 and 2 the operation is multiplication.
If you know the answers to 1 & 3 or 2 & 3 the operation is Division.

This week we will look at different types of text and determine why the author wrote it. We think about questions such as...

We will also consider the author's perspective or viewpoint by thinking about how we think the author feel about a topic based on how and what he writes. Click here for information and practice with author's viewpoint.
In writing, we have been working on writing different types of leads to begin our slice of life narratives: a snapshot lead, a sound effect lead, and an action lead. This week we will begin writing our drafts!
This week we will look at different types of text and determine why the author wrote it. We think about questions such as...
Why would the author write this?
How do you think the author feels about...?
We will closely read text to find evidence and clues that lead us to the purpose.
INFORM: The text primarily includes phrases and sentences that are factual.
PERSUADE: The text includes phrases and sentences that are persuasive because of opinions, descriptions that attract the reader and statements that urge the reader to do something.
ENTERTAIN: The text has a plot: setting clues, characters, problem or challenge, and resolution. It is written primarily for enjoyment.
