Miss Jackson’s Class Weekly News
Central Avenue School
What We Learned
This Week…
Math – This week we learned how to multiply a decimal by
a whole number and a decimal by a decimal. We also
estimated products by rounding to check that our answers
were reasonable.
Reading – In our book clubs we continued our Avi author
study. We noticed how aspects of Avi’s books such as the
settings, characters, and themes are influenced by his life.
We also noticed similar crafts Avi uses in his books.
Writing – We began our literary essay unit by looking at
sample essays to learn what they are. Then we read The
Real Thief as a class and looked for examples of the themes
we identified which were friendship, betrayal, and greed.
Science – This week we learned about airplanes. We
identified the parts of a plane and discussed the purpose of
each part. We also built paper airplanes and observed how
their design affects their flight performance.
March Madness starts next week.
