I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable
vacation! It's hard to believe that we are in the home-stretch of the school
year.
There are a few exciting things
happening this week:
•
We will be walking to Crisafulli to hear the 5th Grade Chorus sing
on Wednesday.
•
The First Grade performance is on Friday and we will be attending
in the morning with the rest of the school.
•
We also have an all-school assembly on Wednesday to discuss our last
Care to Read Book.
We will be working on the following
during class time...
Reading - We will be reading fiction books again this week. All texts will have limited illustrations so
that we can work on visualization as a comprehension strategy.
Math- This week's focus will be on place value.
The students will model and write 3-and 4-digit numbers using base ten blocks
and money. They will also make exchanges with base ten blocks and relate that
change to money. We will also identify the value of each number up to the
ten-thousands place. Lastly, the children will be introduced to the idea of
parentheses in number models and will learn that they need to start with that
part of the problem first.
Writing- The students are continuing to write
their informational paragraphs answering their "I Wonder" questions
from our library country research sessions. The kids are doing an amazing job
and really seem to be enjoying this project!
The students will also be writing
letters to their Third Grade Buddies to learn more about Crisafulli and third
grade. Their buddies will write back to them to answer their questions and the
children will have an opportunity to meet their buddy on Move-Up Day.
Social Studies- We are still in the continent of Africa and will be learning about the country
of Nigeria this week.
