Reader’s Workshop

We will start a new unit on Setting Up a Powerful Reading Life. This will take us up to Fall Break (and just after Fall Break) and will help reinforce many of the skills we’ve been working on so students are taking charge of their reading lives.

Writer’s Workshop

We will continue writing information books that teach. They’ll write their third information book.

Math

We will continue our unit on Ratios by creating double number lines. We will begin looking at unit price (the cost for one thing based on knowing the price for many).

History

We will begin studying our first civilization: Mesopotamia!

Science

The kids will begin working to get ready for their science fair projects.

Thank you,

Mr. Gray
