Daily 5/CAFE:
This week students will begin their new Daily 5 Menu entitled: “The Golden Lion Tamarin”. Students are working to identify text features used in this story and write a brief description of what they learned from each feature. They will also determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative language, such as similes and metaphors. Students will also read an article where they will practice making inferences based on evidence from the text.

Writing:
Students will explore mentor texts that discuss features of a memoir and begin to think like a writer as they prepare to write their own memoir. Students should begin writing their memoirs by midweek.
Math:
We have been reading, writing, and comparing decimals to thousandths place. We will be moving into rounding decimals and powers of 10. The students will be recognizing that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.

Social Studies:
The students have begun the unit on Economics in social studies. We will soon be answering the question, “How do economic decisions affect our lives?” They will begin by learning the importance of developing a budget for savings and spending. We will also spend time discussing the role of international trade between the US and other countries. We will work on unit vocabulary and practice taking notes.
