Unit Objectives:
Reading- As we continue to focus on persuasive text, we will look closer at what authors use to persuade readers. This week we will focus on persuasive letters and the author’s purpose. Students will be asked to show evidence from the text to support the author’s opinion.
Writing- This week in writing we will continue our next writing cycle in small groups. Our focus this week is to add that extra voice to our expository papers. Even though it is informational, we can still make our readers laugh.
Math –This week we will continue our study of Fractions. Students will describe and compare fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects, use concrete objects and models to generate equivalent fractions, describe fraction quantities greater than one, locate and name points on a number line (such as halves & fourths/ tenths & hundredths), and compare fractions to decimals. We will have our post TEST on these skills Thursday!
Science – This week we will begin our study of Force and Motion. Students will describe and investigate the effect of a force on an object such as a push or a pull, friction, gravity, or magnetism. We will begin applying our knowledge of forces to simple machines.
Social Studies – This week we will continue to study the influence of persuasive letters, essays and speeches on history. We will study Martin Luther King Jr. and his accomplishments.
