READING
This week we will review and learn more about different genres of fiction such as traditional literature, fantasy, realistic fiction, and science fiction. Traditional stories are stories that are passed down from one group to another in history. They include fairy tales, fables, and myths from different cultures. Fantasy are stories that have magical elements, and are make-believe. Science fiction is a type of fantasy that uses science and technology such as robots. And realistic fiction are stories that although they have made up characters, they could happen in real life.
WRITING
In writing we will continue writing true stories form our lives. Things that have happened to us or we have experienced. We will focus on a specific event that happened over a very short period of time, a few seconds or perhaps a few minutes. we call these moments, small moments. Small moments are short, yet we write them with details and explanation. In other words, we would expand and stretch our moment over a few lines, or a paragraph. Writers that write personal narratives, put these small moments together to make a story.

MATH
This week we will learn about fraction, equal parts and unequal parts. We will learn that halves are one out of two equal parts and quarters are one out of four equal parts. We will use two-dimensional figures with two or four parts and decide whether or not the parts are equal or fair share. We will use vocabularies such as equal parts, fair, not fair, same size pieces, half, fourth, fourths, quarters or a quarter of.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We will continue our unit in economics. Last week we learned about goods and services and how we must have jobs to meet our needs and wants and exchange goods and services. This week we will discuss why we are required to make choices with our money. We will discuss examples of times when we want more than we can have and therefore we need to make wise choices about our money.
