ELA / Reading - Unit 1 - Profile in Courage Culminating Project
Students will continue the research and begin the slide show for the Profile in Courage project. They will be given time in class to work, however, they should expect to also work on it at home. The tentative due date for the slide show is Monday, 1/23. Presentations will take place the week of 1/23.
Use of quotation marks will be our focus in English this week. Quotation marks are tricky so we will spend a few days on this topic.

The multiplication & division CHECKPOINT is scheduled for Tuesday, 1/17. We will spend the rest of the week focusing on the following strategies: sketching arrays & partial products, four partial products and arrays to algorithms.
Collaboration has reached a new level as we delve into higher level concepts in math. I am thrilled with what I am observing as students discuss finding solutions to problems. Below are photos of partners working together to fill in a series of ratio tables to be used for problem solving...
