Good Afternoon 4C Parents,
We've hit the ground running after a wonderful 5-day Thanksgiving Break! We ended units and started new units in Reading/Social Studies, Math, and Science. Here's what we're working on...
Reading/Social Studies: Lewis & Clark and the Corp of Discovery
We are learning about the purchase and expedition that changed the course of history for the United States. Students are reading "What's the Lewis and Clark Expedition?" and completing an accompanying workbook of vocabulary, comprehension questions, and map skills. Beginning Monday, students will begin working on keeping a journal as though they are with Lewis & Clark. We are also working in our reading groups on non-fiction text structures.
Coming up after Winter Break: WESTWARD EXPANSION
Math
We are continuing to learn strategies for solving multiplication and division problems. Now we are solving 2, 3, and 4 digit by 2 digit multiplication. Below are the strategies and a link that you can to help you understand the work we're doing.

This weekend they have lattice multiplication strategy to practice.
Science
This week we began our Mixtures $ Solutions unit. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS UNIT! We get to do experiments! We are learning about the states of matter, chemical & physical change, and the differences between a mixture and solution and ways to separate each.
