Math
- Finding common denominators
- List the multiples of each number and identify the multiples they have in common
- Multiply the denominators to get a common fractions (but it doesn't always result in the lowest common multiple)
- Comparing fractions strategies
We can use common numerators, common denominators, benchmark fractions and reason with unit fractions.

- Writing-Informational (Report) writing
- We are taking our research notes on the animal we created to write a report on our new species and its adaptations.

- Similes and Metaphors
- Simile: comparing two things using like or as
- Metaphor: comparing two things without using like or as
- Student examples of similes:
- "The homework was as difficult as a rubiks cube."
- "Our kitchen was messy like a pig's pen."
- "The baby giraffe's neck was long like the Empire State building."
- It's electric! To help students prepare for the HSA Science, we started learning about electricity. There are two types that we read about: static electricity and current electricity. Ask your chid "Which type of electricity runs through our home?"
- We started off exploring the different ways to light a bulb. Can your child explain what is needed to light a bulb?
- We made predictions on what will happen if you have two bulbs and you remove one bulb in a series and parallel circuit. We will test it out next week to find out.
