Learning this Week:

Math: We will continue to estimate quotients as well as divide with remainders in Topic 9. We may test on Friday depending upon student learning.
Writing: Students will be writing in response to an open response question about Louis Braille. In addition, we will be watching, "Because of Winn-Dixie" while comparing and contrasting the movie and the book. We will also be learning about how to use accountable talk when we are having book club discussions.
Science/Social Studies: We will finish up learning about how to read a map and where countries/continents are located.
Reading: We will continue taking notes and reading about Ellis Island. We will learn how to summarize our notes by using a flow chart.
