This week we are learning lots of interesting things! In math we are learning about the place value of decimals and how to compare decimal numbers. In reading, we are working toward our goal of each student reading at least 3 books independently this month, and have discussed the concept of conflict as it applies to stories and plot. This week we are focusing on the word choice writing trait, and are working on a descriptive essay about a place they are familiar with--describing it using all the five senses, using as many "purple words" as they can! (Ask your student about purple words!) For science and social studies, we are learning all about landforms and the geography of the United States. We are learning about the different plate boundaries and the landforms caused by the movement of tectonic plates, as well as the different landform regions in our country!
