Reading: This week in reading, students will review text structure and knowing the structure of a text can help them better understand what they read.
Math: Students will review what a fraction is and brainstorm when and where they see fractions used in real life. We will then practice how to identify equivalent fractions. To do this, we will be using the Bar Model and Number Lines as this helps students to visualize equivalence.
Writing: Students will complete an independent informational writing sample as a pre-assessment (criteria pasted below). We will then review what informational writing is and guide students through the process of selecting a topic and text structure that aligns best with their chosen topic.
Social Studies: Students will review all of the rights given to them through the First Amendment.
