In Unit 3 we will be studying American Revolution
1.Researching History
Readers will learn about a topic by finding resources that they will use to build their own overview on the topic by accessing prior background knowledge Readers will preview a text, identify the text structure, and organize important parts of a text while researching. Readers will pay attention to people (who), geography (where), and chronology (when) while reading history to organize knowledge. Readers will take notes while reading and talking to partners or within a group before they record important events. Readers will synthesize information about a key subtopic while reading many sources of texts. Readers pay close attention to details that expose tone and point of view within the text. Readers of history will look closely at strategies to read and comprehend primary source documents. Readers will bring their topics and scenes to life by relating to fiction text. Readers will celebrate their accomplishments of their understanding and learning about the American Revolution.
2.Preparing for Debate
Readers will learn that historians pay close attention to many different points of view to analyze information while researching the past. Readers will study historical evidence to create their own point of view and support history. Readers will research both sides of an issue to support both sides with evidence and reasons to deny their opponent. Readers will celebrate their accomplishments of their understanding and learning by conducting a whole-class debate as they reenact the Second Continental Congress.
3.Participating in a Research Cycle
Readers read easy texts to compile background knowledge on a topic before they read more complex texts. Readers use different strategies to make sense of a complex test by previewing, reading sections, paraphrasing, and linking together texts before introducing something new. Readers can identify important places (introductions, conclusions, and text features) in a text where an author revels important information related to the main idea. Readers use prior knowledge of text structure to read nonfiction. Readers will identify and learn how to understand new vocabulary words and how it is used at a deeper level of understanding within a text, Readers question and hypothesize to reach more deep and complex conclusions. Readers use their knowledge and interpret history by asking questions and explain their understanding from history.

Chapters 8, 9 & 10 (see below for additional vocabulary and images pertaining these chapters)
Dear Family,
In chapter 8, your child will learn to add and subtract decimals and use this skill to solve real-world problems.
Activity Adding and subtracting decimals is a key skill needed to perform simple everyday tasks. While traveling by car or on a trip to the supermarket, look for opportunities to demonstrate this to your child and help them practice some of the skills they have learned. For example, encourage your child to notice that at the supermarket, the prices of many items are listed as decimals, not whole numbers. • Ask your child to write down the prices of 5 items from the supermarket. • At home, have your child add these decimals to find the total cost of all 5 items. • Ask your child to calculate how much money he or she will have remaining after buying these 5 items, if he or she had $70 to begin with. (Choose a number that is greater than the total cost of the 5 items.)
Estimada familia: En este capítulo, su hijo aprenderá a sumar y restar decimales y usar esta destreza para resolver problemas reales.
Actividad Sumar y restar decimales es una destreza clave necesaria para realizar tareas cotidianas simples. Al viajar en automóvil o en un viaje al supermercado, busque oportunidades para demostrarlo a su hijo y ayudarle a practicar alguna de las destrezas que ha aprendido. Por ejemplo, diga a su hijo que observe que en el supermercado, los precios de muchos productos se indican como decimales, no como números enteros. • Pida a su hijo que escriba los precios de 5 productos del supermercado. • En casa, pida a su hijo que sume estos decimales para hallar el costo total de los 5 productos. • Pida a su hijo que calcule cuánto dinero le quedará después de comprar estos 5 productos, si en un principio tenía $70. . (Elija un número mayor que el costo total de los 5 productos.)
Chapter 9
In chapter 9, your child will study angles. Work in this chapter will include: • measuring and drawing angles • identifying acute, obtuse, right, and straight angles • relating turns to the number of right angles
Activity The concept of angles is fundamental to the study of geometry. Children must be able to estimate the measure of angles and use the correct vocabulary to describe them before they study geometry further. To practice new terms, have your child look at this diagram. • Mark an angle on the diagram. Have your child estimate the measure of the angle and identify it as an acute, obtuse, or right angle. For example, the angle between East and Northwest is an obtuse angle because it is greater than 90º. • Repeat with different angles. • Now, ask your child to imagine that you are facing North. Ask, for example, what direction you will be facing if you complete a 3 4 -turn to the right. (Answer: West) Ask your child how many degrees you would have turned through. (Answer: 270°)
Chapter 9
En este capítulo, su hijo aprenderá a estudiar ángulos. El trabajo en este capítulo incluirá: • medir y dibujar ángulos • identificar ángulos agudos, obtusos, rectos y llanos • relacionar giros con el número de ángulos rectos.
Actividad El concepto de los ángulos es fundamental para el estudio de la geometría. Los niños deben ser capaces de estimar la medición de ángulos y usar el vocabulario correcto para describirlos antes de estudiar geometría en mayor detalle. Para practicar nuevos términos, pida a su hijo que vea este diagrama. • Marque un ángulo en el diagrama. Pida a su hijo que estime la medición del ángulo y lo identifique como un ángulo agudo, obtuso o recto. Por ejemplo, el ángulo entre el este y noroeste es un ángulo obtuso porque es mayor a 90°. • Repita con diferentes ángulos. • Ahora pida a su hijo que imagine que se dirigen hacia el norte. Pregunte por ejemplo, hacia qué dirección irían si realizará un giro de 3 4 hacia la derecha. (Respuesta: oeste) Pregunte a su hijo cuántos grados tendría que girar. (Respuesta: 270°)
Chapter 10
In chapter 10, your child will study perpendicular and parallel line segments. Some of the skills your child will practice are: • using a protractor or drawing triangles to draw parallel and perpendicular line segments • identifying horizontal and vertical lines
Activity Understanding the different types of lines and line segments is important when children study the properties of plane and solid shapes. Help your child connect the concepts of parallel, perpendicular, horizontal, and vertical lines with this activity. Invite your child to identify some horizontal line segments in a room. Examples are table edges, the sides of a doormat, and so forth. • Ask your child to explain why they are horizontal. (Answer: Table edges are parallel to the level ground, so they are horizontal.) • Now have your child identify line segments perpendicular to the ground. Examples are the legs of a table, the sides of a window frame, and so forth. Ask your child whether these are horizontal or vertical line segments, and ask why. (Answer: Table legs are perpendicular to the level ground, so they are vertical.)
Chapter 10
En este capítulo, su hijo aprenderá a estudiar segmentos perpendiculares y paralelos. Algunas de las habilidades que practicará su hijo son: • usar un transportador o dibujar triángulos para dibujar segmentos paralelos y perpendiculares • identificar líneas horizontales y verticales
Actividad Entender los diferentes tipos de líneas y segmentos es importante cuando los niños estudian las propiedades de formas planas y cuerpos geométricos. Ayude a su hijo a relacionar los conceptos de líneas paralelas, perpendiculares, horizontales y verticales con esta actividad. Invite a su hijo a identificar algunos segmentos horizontales en una habitación. Algunos ejemplos son: bordes de mesas, los lados de una toalla, etc. • Pida a su hijo que explique por qué son horizontales. (Respuesta: Los bordes de la mesa son paralelos al nivel del suelo, por lo tanto, son horizontales.) • Ahora pida a su hijo que identifique segmentos perpendiculares al suelo. Algunos ejemplos son las patas de una mesa, los lados del marco de una ventana, etc. Pregunte a su hijo si son segmentos horizontales o verticales y por qué. (Respuesta: Las patas de la mesa son perpendiculares al nivel del suelo, por lo tanto, son verticales.)
