Math
We will read and write numbers to 1000 using base ten numerals, number names and expanded form to justify representations.
Language Arts
We have been reading lots of fiction text over the last few weeks and will be switching to nonfiction text. We will start by identifying the difference between fiction and nonfiction text. We will then move on to identifying text features and how they help you to understand what you are reading and help you to determine what is important in the text. We will also explore how text features also help you to find your way around in text.
We will begin our unit on informational writing. We will discuss characteristics of informational writing and students will begin to construct a writing piece to teach someone about a landform we have studied. We will continue to focus on correct capitalization, punctuation and writing full sentences.
Science & Social Studies
To further reinforce the topic above we will develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area.
Habit 7 - Sharpen the Saw
This week we’re focusing on Habit 7. It teaches students to balance responsibilities with recreation. While students are encouraged to use these characteristics at school, please reinforce them at home as well.
