Meet your village!

We are here to help you and your child in any way!

Students will continue exploring “Why Do Scientists Explore the Sea?” through reading and writing understanding informational texts. Students will use information from their reading to describe sea creatures, explain why scientists explore the sea, and write multiple paragraphs using details and evidence from the texts.

Unit 2: Exploring Multiplication!

Over the next six weeks, students will explore multiplication patterns, strategies, and properties, solve word problems within 100, investigate area, and estimate and measure volume and mass.

As we develop new multiplication skills, please continue reviewing place value, addition, subtraction, and decomposing numbers through the hundreds at home. These foundational skills will continue to support students build number sense, while learning new strategies.

Students will be introduced to how beliefs, conflict, power, environment, groups, location, scarcity, economics, and change influence societies and their development.
