Math
On Monday, we will practice estimating or rounding to the nearest ten. Then, we'll subtract to find the actual answer. Tuesday, the students will learn how to explain how addition and subtraction are related and how one can be used to check the other. Wednesday, the students will review for their Addition & Subtraction Post-Test. Thursday, they'll take their Post-Test. Friday, we will begin a new unit - Multiplying with 6-10's.
Reading
Monday, we will finish up our study on using context clues in a sentence to help us discover the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday, we will work with words that have multiple meanings. We will see which meaning correctly matches with the meaning on the underlined word in the text. Friday, the students will take their test over both of these skills.
Writing & Grammar
This week, I will be modeling for the students what to include when writing their 2nd and 3rd chapters. Afterward, the students will create their own chapters including a main idea sentence, facts that they found while researching, and a closing sentence.
We will focus on verbs or action words this week. We will cover verb tenses and regular, irregular, & helping verbs.
Social Studies
Monday, we will discuss how being a responsible citizen effects the common good. Tuesday, we'll discuss terms associated with conflict resolution - communicate, negotiate, & mediator. Wednesday, the students will act out various scenarios and decide on possible solutions to the conflicts. Thursday, we will go through steps that can be used to peacefully solve conflicts.
