This week we begin our look at analyzing in Language. We will look at how to find and interpret facts in a work of non-fiction. The book we will be reading is called Caring for Cheetahs by Rosanna Hansen. It follows the work of the Cheetah Conservation Fund based in Namibia and raises the issue of animals in captivity. This is the subject of this weeks Kidblog post "should animals be held in captivity?" Students will use facts to express their opinion on the subject.
In Math we now move from the larger millions to the smaller thousandths. We will learn to identify, compare and order decimals up to thousandths. There will be a Quiz on Friday which will give students an opportunity to demonstrate understanding of these place value concepts.
We have also started our new Math software Prodigy which is a Math based role playing game. Students are asked to spend no more than 20 minutes at a time to start with.
We will also be learning about the story of Moses in Religion class and how he became a light to the Israelites. We will also be finishing up our lantern projects that students can bring home.
Have a great week.
