Hello Gold Rush Families!
Our class has been doing some really cool stuff, and we want to make sure
you know all about it!
Reading: In Reading we have been determining the different text structures in
different texts whether it’s description, compare and contrast, cause and effect,
sequence, or problem and solution. We read different texts and compare the
different text structures of each different article. We are also working on our
Inquiry Research Projects. Those are the topics we chose to learn about and do
projects on.

Math: In math we are doing multiplication and division with fractions. We do
either fractions multiplied by whole numbers, fractions multiplied by mixed
numbers, or fractions multiplied by fractions. We are also working on rounding
decimals and adding and subtracting decimals.

Writing: In writing we have been working on our argumentative topics. We
have to state our claim clearly and then have reasons to support our claims.
Then, we need true evidence having to do with that reason to support it. We
are also working on our essays. We are learning how to make our essays
stronger, to make our claims more believable, and to add quotes.

Social Studies/History: In social studies we are learning about the Natives,
the European Vikings, and their timeline, the Ice Age. We learned that
Christopher Columbus wasn’t the first one to discover America and that the
first Europeans to discover America were the Vikings. We also learned about
what the Natives and the Vikings did to get to America.
