F
rom Past to Present is the title of our next unit in Language Arts. Unit 6 explores the big question “How can we preserve our traditions?” Week one shows how dance and music are ways that cultures express their traditions. Students will read song lyrics that express a young girl’s thoughts and feelings about a famous singer named Celia Cruz. Reading comprehension covers classifying and visualizing details. Grammar practices pronouns and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
Our class is starting a new mathematics unit about fractions called Fair Shares and Fractions on Number Lines. In this unit, students investigate the meaning of fractions and the ways fractions can be represented. They solve sharing problems (How can 2 people share 3 brownies equally?), represent fractions with area models and on number lines, compare fractions, and determine fraction equivalents.
