In writing, we are starting our Informational Writing by gathering ideas and choosing a topic this week.
In math we will start Tuesday learning about Statistics in Chapter 9
We are starting a new unit in ELA about Exploration from "My Perspectives". Our essential question that we will explore is: What drives people to explore? All of the stories will focus on this theme.
Finally, I am reading aloud to the class about Martin Luther King Jr.’s abundant life in celebration of his holiday. We are also looking up quotes and watching two of his significant speeches followed by journaling and deep discussions.
