Students will begin the month by continuing to round numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. Rounding will lead into the students solving addition and subtraction problems with two- and three-digit numbers as well as subtracting across zeros. Students will learn multiple strategies to solve these problems as well as solve word problems.

As the new quarter begins, students are going to continue their learning about the human body. Students will explore the essential question: How do parts of the body work together to keep you alive?The unit focuses on comparing and contrasting systems of the body (nervous system, muscular system, and skeletal system).

This unit focuses on informational writing. Students will practice writing topic and concluding sentences for paragraphs. Students will write about one of the systems learned throughout the unit.

Students will be focusing on geography for the second quarter. The month of November will focus on learning about different natural and physical features.
