This Week…

dividing decimals. First, we reviewed how to multiply
whole numbers by powers of ten and then we learned how
to multiply decimals by powers of ten.
Reading – We continued our non-fiction unit by reading
and taking notes on a variety of topics. We also read nonfiction articles to practice identifying the main idea and
supporting details and finding textual evidence.
