Happy Weekend!
I hope you had a wonderful week and stayed warm!!
Math- This week we learned a new method to get the LCM, GCF, and lowest terms of 2 numbers called the Ladder Method, ask your kiddo to show you this weekend! This week we are also working on comparing fractions and writing fractions as decimals and percents.
Writing- We are working hard on our literary essay unit as we reflect on our flash drafts from last week, set goals and work towards them as we begin our next bend in the unit. We will be working on writing an essay based on our fantasy book club book. We will write to grow ideas, analyze how characters respond to troubles, and develop strong thesis statements!
Reading- In our fantasy unit, we discussed theme, character struggles, suspending judgement, and thinking metaphorically about the "dragons" our characters are facing.
Social Studies- We studied the battle of Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Fort Wagner, and how the Civil War ended.
