Our Learning Adventures 
Highlights 
We had a lot going on in our 4 days of learning last week. We completed the COGAT assessment on
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. During math workshop, we continued to solve problems involving
multiplication and division and decomposing factors into smaller pieces so that we can solve any
problem that we see. In reading workshop, we investigated how to read historical informational texts by
noticing the order of events. In writing workshop, we continued our work with using descriptive
language when writing and really focused on using complete sentences that include correct punctuation
and capitalization.
Unit of Inquiry 
We split into groups and investigated the major rivers of the United States. Tomorrow we will present
our findings with the rest of the crew.

Questions to Ask Your Child 

● What river did your group investigate? What did you learn about the river?
● What are you doing to meet your multiplication fluency goals for September?
