Learning Goals for this week

In reading we will be working hard on building our comprehension by using a variety of reading strategies like drawing conclusions, determining cause and effect, making inferences, and sequencing events.  

When we draw conclusions, we are able to use the information in the text and information from our own life 
experiences. 

Determining cause and effect allows us to see how and why things happen in a text. We can ask "What happened?" and "Why did that happen?" to determine the cause and effect of a specific event.

To better help us understand a text, we can also make sure events are put in order, or sequenced.  Many times, we use ordinal words such as, first, next, then, last, etc.  

Below are some sites that will help you practice these reading comprehension reading strategies.

Reading Comprehension Strategies Practice/Drawing Conclusions


In Math, we will be creating and solving one step equations that can be solved using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers.  

Equations can be used to help us understand CGI (word problems) and allow us to solve them more efficiently.    We use variables (letters or symbols) to represent what is unknown n the problem.
