What is going on?
Sept. 8-11
Math: This week we will begin our place value unit. We will use concrete & picture models to compose and decompose numbers up to 99. We will learn to write numbers to 99 using standard, written, and expanded form. We will compare and order numbers, as well as, locate the position of a 2 digit numeral on a number line.
Reading: We will continue to make connections from our reading to our lives. We will discuss deep, thoughtful connections as well as connections that might distract us from the deeper meaning of the text.
Writing: This week we focus on the picture portion of our writing. We will read books that are wordless and discuss how the author was able to “write” such a detailed story without the use of words. Then we will try to tell our own stories using pictures that are already drawn.
Science & Social Studies: The overarching theme is social studies this year is community. Students will learn about our local, state and national communities. This week we will be learning about the relationship between and community and its citizen. We will review the characteristics of a good citizen.
