December Update & Enrichment

What can you look forward to in the month of December? Opinion & Persuasive Writing We will be working on learning the difference between fact and opinion.  We will learn what writer's do to persuade their audience.  We will also examine how persuasive advertisements and write our own. Reading Traditional Literature   We are studying fables, myths, tall tales, folktales and more.  We will work on answering the question-How do made-up stories with imaginary characters teach important things about real life? Multiplication Matters We are working towards mastery of our multiplication facts.  Division is the opposite of multiplication and therefor by knowing our multiplication facts we can divide.  We will continue to develop deeper understanding of this relationship as well as strategies for solving math stories that involve these operations. Thank you for supporting your child at home by practicing with them at home.
One of our math standards is to Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division. We will be able to Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. 1 Social Studies We are going to wrap up our unit on the Wampanoag and Pilgrims before the winter break.  First we learned about each group separately.  Now we are learning about the relationship of these two groups. We have been enjoying reading and discussing the hardships that the Pilgrims faced on the Mayflower.
