we will be focusing on compounds. In writing, we will be writing persuasive
letters along with preparing for Grand People’s Day.
Math: We are working on finding the area of objects and measuring distances.
We will continue to work on ballpark estimates as well as adding 2-digit numbers
using partial sums as well as more traditional methods.
Science: In Science we our continuing with the unit Animals are Living Things and
will be learning the characteristics of reptiles, amphibians and fish.
Social Studies: We will be learning about the election process and how ballots are
used.

The holidays are quickly approaching, but we are staying focused on our learning
