Students are practicing the revising process by adding details and creating rich sentences using sensory details. 

Math: Students have just started Topic 5 (Division). We have been using base ten blocks, drawing pictures, and using our knowledge of multiples to solve basic problems. Now, we are working with larger dividends and using the partial quotient method of solving. 

ELA: Students are focusing on the genre of traditional literature. We have discussed the differences, and are specifically reading and analyzing the elements of pourquoi tales. Students are reading a variety of stories, including reader's theater to deepen their understanding.
