What we will be learning this week:
Math: This week in math we will learn how to calculate the mode and range for a set of data. We will also learn how to use a Venn Diagram to sort data. Thinking about data, we will learn how to calculate the probability of something occurring. On Wednesday and Thursday, we will take the ISA math test.

Literacy: This week in Literacy we will learn how to write compare and contrast sentences using The Iron Man text and The Iron Giant movie. On Wednesday and Thursday we will be taking the ISA reading and writing tests.
IPC: This week in IPC we will learn how to make a podcast by describing how to make either jam, butter, or bread. We will then move into learning about how harvest festivals are celebrated similarly and differently around the world for the society task.
Spelling: This week in spelling we will learn how to spell words with the -ad prefix. Two practice assignments have been set. Once you login, you will see a green and blue box that says "Assignments Due". This week they are "Sentence Writing Practice" and "SpeedySpeller".
