Reading - Unit 1 - "Courage"-At the beginning of the week, we will write our first reading response as a group. Then, we will spend time looking at the text structure of cause and effect. Text structured as cause and effect explains the reasons why something happened or the effects of something. An effect is what happens. To determine the effect, students should ask “What happened?”. A cause is why something happens. To determine the cause, students should ask “Why did it happen?” Once we have reviewed this concept students will revisit the story of "Happy Birthday Dr. King" to discover how cause and effect are used throughout the text.
English - Capitalization & Punctuation
Capitalization of places and things, abbreviations, and commas in a series are our topics for next week.

Mrs. Spakausky and Mrs. Krasnodebski's Math Class: In math this week we will begin Unit Two, Module One, Building Multiplication Arrays. Students should be practicing their multiplication facts nightly to help prepare for this chapter. Students will determine the area of base ten pieces in square centimeters and discuss the idea that the area of each piece represents its place value.
