In Language Arts, we are reading The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. We are working on reading strategies such as making connections, visualizing, retelling/summarizing, asking questions as we read, and drawing conclusions. In word work, we are working on words with prefixes. In writing we are completing many creative writing projects related to the novel we are reading.

In Math, we just took our unit 3 assessment over measurement. We are beginning our study of multiplication. This week we are learning about the strategies we can use to solve a multiplication problem such as repeated addition, skip counting, drawing arrays/pictures, and knowing the rules for facts.

In Science, we are wrapping up our forces and motion unit. We just completed a foldable reviewing the unit vocabulary. We are getting ready for the unit assessment.

In Social Studies, we will begin learning about our local government soon. We are using a variety of literature to analyze topics and study non fiction text features.
