What We Are Learning in Reading and Math

Our unit theme in Reading is: Meeting Challenges
What challenges have you faced in your life?

Our first story is Frindle
 






The excerpt we will read is about how a boy meets the challenges of coming to a new grade and having a new teacher.




In math we are learning about place value. You will need to know how to write numbers in expanded form, how to round decimals, and understand the difference between value and place value.

Did you know you can find activities like we use on the SmartBoard online?
