A Peek At Our Week January 23-27 Math Reading Writing Social Studies This week we are focusing on integrating information from two different texts. Students will also be working in pairs, small groups, and independently to discover ways information can be interpreted and presented in various formats. We are on to unit 7 which focuses on fractions. We will start the unit with reviewing basic fraction concepts, then we will focus on probabilities, pattern-blocks, mixed-number fractions, and more! This will be a WHOLE lot of fun!
