Math

ELAR:  We will summarize the main idea and supporting details in text in ways that maintain meaning.  We will revise drafts for coherence, organization, use of simple and compound sentences, and audience.  We will edit drafts for grammar, mechanics, and spelling.  

Math:  We will represent problems using an input-output table and use numerical expressions to generate a number pattern that follows a given rule representing the relationship of values and their position in a sequence.

Science:  We will demonstrate that some likenesses between parents and offspring are inherited, passed from generation to generation, such as eye color in humans or shapes of leaves in plants. Other likenesses are learned, such as table manners, reading a book, and seals balancing balls on their noses.
