What we will be learning this week:
Math: This week in math we will learn how to solve math problems and puzzles that involve multiple steps.
Literacy: This week in Literacy we will continue working on the skill of using the text of Varjak Paw to support our reasons for thinking the way we do about the characters. We will also role-play various characters in order to be able to empathize with them.
IPC: This week in IPC we will learn about the difference between importing and exporting and the reasons behind these. We will then talk about how money has changed over time by looking into the past about what was used and then looking into the future about new possibilities.
Spelling: This week in spelling we will learn when and how short vowel sounds are spelled with doubling up the letter. 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 "".
