Learning this Week:
Writing: We will be formulating open response answers by using a checklist and close reading together. Students will be using evidence from the natural disaster articles to support their answers. We will also be taking our middle of the year writing benchmark assessment. 
Math: We will continue with Topic 5 (Long Division). We will continue to practice using the two different methods as well estimating answers. Students are expected to check their answers using the inverse operation (multiplication) as well as be able to estimate their quotient. We will take our assessment at the end of this week or beginning of next week depending on student learning. 
ELA: We will continue learning about the elements of poetry, while working on fluency each day. In addition we will be reading Love That Dog as a class. Students will infer and take notes on the sensory images throughout the book. We will also continue writing different types of poems, such as a diamante and cinquain poem.
Science/S.S: We will finish up the effects of natural disasters and move onto weathering and erosion next week.
