CONTENT FOR THIS MONTH
Reading
Module 3
In November, we will continue module 3 where students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about important U.S. documents and symbols. A genre focus on nonfiction provides students with opportunities to identify:
- central idea
- text structure
- media techniques
Students will also encounter videos to build knowledge across genres. As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn more about our country’s history and how various symbols came to represent the values and ideals of the United States.
Writing
In November, we will be learning the following in grammar:
- Abstract Nouns
- Prepositional phrases
- Pronoun- Antecedent Agreement
We'll continue working on responding to prompts using the RACE strategy. Students are working on responding using an extended constructed response and a short constructed response.
Math
Unit 3- Numerical Representation
During the month of November, students will begin working on understanding numerical relationships by representing, composing, decomposing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers to see how numbers are connected and structured.
Please take the time to look over the information included in the November Math Home-to-School Connections below, to discover ways in which you can support your child at home.
Science
Chapter 3: Forces
