What we have done:
This week we finished Topic 3 over subtracting and tested on Friday.  This topic showed how to add and subtract using models and expanded algorithm. Also how
to add 3 or more numbers and how to subtract across zeros.  In ELA we are focusing on the writing process using graphic organizers for the prewriting.  Then drafting by skipping every other line so students have room to revise and edit their narrative.  Below you will find what will be happening in our classrooms next week.

ELA:
Students will be focusing on completing their second narrative by using the writing process. In reading we will be looking at literal and nonliteral meanings as well as using illustrations for better understanding. We will continue to use comprehension strategies with our literature discussion group books.

We will be starting Topic 4 over multiplication. This unit will introduce the meanings of multiplication.
