Those students who read Gulliver's Stories will be making a travel brochure and those whoread Ben and Me will be making an invention. They will fill out their invention handbook at school but may need to have help actually making the invention, However you are more than welcome to send in the supplies to make their invention and they can make it during class. We are starting our next book By the Great Horn Spoon. This is a great story about a boy and his butler's adventures during the gold rush.We will focus on reading strategies such as inference, prediction, plot, theme, and multiple perspective.Math:We will be focusing on multiplication, division, congruent figures, linear function, word problems with fractions, equivalent fractions, capacity, mass and weight.
