What are we focusing on this upcoming week?
- Writing: We are still working on argumentative essays! This week we analyzed a new student essay, analyzed a new prompt, read three new sources, and organized text evidence to support our reasons and claim. Next week students will work on writing their argumentative essays on the skills students need to succeed in future jobs.
- Reading: Next week we are going to be reading an argumentative text titled “Dollars and Sense.” We will be focusing on finding the central ideas and details in a text. We will focus on the standard RI2 (Determine the main idea of a text and explain how it is supported by key details; summarize the text)
- Math: Next week is a short week. We will be working on addition and subtraction word problems. Our Unit test will be September 14th. Your child will receive a review packet next Wednesday. Click here to see the 4.1 blog - http://fourthgradenpes.weebly.com/current-41-math-info
