English Language Arts:<\/span><\/h3>\n

We begin the year with an Identity unit where students explore the question, ‘Who Am I as a Person and a Learner?’\u00a0 In this ‘All About Me’ unit, students will begin the year by telling their own story. In our first assignment, students will respond to A Raven Tale by Richard Wagamese and The Power of Passion and Perseverance TedTalk by Angela Ducksworth. Next, we will explore the power of descriptive writing in the ‘Where I’m From’ poem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Math:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Students completed some preliminary math assessments and then started work on our first unit of the year, Decimals!\u00a0 We will review some basic operations with decimals and will learn about rounding\/place value.\u00a0 Next, the class will work on converting decimals to fractions, percent and ratios with a “My 24” personal pie graph.\u00a0 I will keep you informed if there is a quiz or test coming soon.\u00a0 We will also start with number talks and will start some group problem solving. Your children have Math booklets and I encourage them to practice at home as some are rusty from summer vacation. \u200b\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n
