Learning this Week:
Writing: Students will be learning new vocabulary words this week and will be expected to use them in a variety of writing activities. This week, our writing will focus on main idea and purpose. We will be writing postcards based on our read aloud book, Esperanza Rising. Students will have specific ideas to write about in the postcard from the perspective of our main character (Mexican immigrant living in California). 
Math: This week, we will finish up Topic 7, Factors and Multiples. We will most likely test on Wednesday (depending on student learning). The assessment will be given on the tablets. By the end of the week we will be starting Topic 8 (Fraction Equivalence). 
ELA: We will continue to use different strategies to take notes on all aspects on immigration. We have finished learning about the Statue of Liberty, and will continue to learn about the different reasons immigrants came to America and the process they went through at Ellis Island. We will be watching videos, reading articles, and even doing some reader's theatre! 
S.S./Sci: We will have a special treat this week! Our technology specialist will be discussing landforms and United States as we prepare for an interactive Skype with a mystery classroom somewhere in the U.S.! Students will be asking and answering clues.
