Week 3 (2nd 9 weeks)

Dear Family,

Last week I sent home a baggy with a letter inside asking you to send in a soil sample to school with your child.  These will be used during science class.  All are due no later than November 12.  Please do not send in any mud.  Thanks so much!

Also due on Monday is the timeline project!

Next Week...

Math: Students will continue with subtraction, focusing on writing number sentences and understanding the bigger number is written first. They will write subtraction sentences using various tools as models (dominoes, dice, pictures). Students will also visualize subtraction stories in their head and act out/model their thinking.

Science: Students will continue their study of physical properties of objects by observing, comparing, describing, and sorting the components of soil by size, texture and color.

Reading:  Students will learn what an inference is and begin making inferences throughout their books.  

Writing:  This is the last week of How-To writing. Students will publish and share their How-To.

Balanced Literacy: In Social Studies, we will be talking about different customs and traditions and will be presenting our timeline projects. In Phonics, we will be recognizing and reading known words and using letter-sound relationships to monitor word-solving accuracy.
