In Math, we will continue our unit on addition and subtraction of decimals and whole numbers. We will be learning multiple strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems. 

In Science, we will continue to explore different types of energy. We will focus on building parallel and series circuits.  

In Reading and Language Arts, learners will begin a fictional unit where they will analyze and interpret characters. Learners will also write personal narratives. We will focus on the spelling skill of changing the letter "f" to "v" when adding "es", and comparative and superlative adjectives. 

In Social Studies, we will continue exploring early Texas history and learning about the early Texans.
