Homework: The math packet and reading log are due
on Friday. Please
return it in your Yellow Reading Log/Math Homework Folder.
Language Arts: We will learn how to use Raz Kids at school this week. We will be reading about bats
as we begin our study of nocturnal animals. The students will learn how to use
key words to complete our informative pillar. Then we will talk about how to
turn the key words into sentences to make an informative paragraph.
Mathematics: This week we will be learning about subtraction up to
1,000. Please
see the School to Home Connection sheet about chapter 3 in your Spring Street Folder. We will begin by
doing subtraction without regrouping. We will use base ten blocks to model it.
Then we will use the blocks to show how to regroup the tens and ones to
subtract.
Online Math Tools: Get online math support that follows what we do in
class. Go to your parent portal on the district’s homepage to get your child’s
username and password. Then click on the Think Central link that is by the
password. This will take you to the online resource from our Math In Focus
book. At this site you can get online manipulatives such as base ten blocks. You can also see the student
text book (not workbook). This book has practice problems and activities. I
encourage you to have your child use the online manipulatives to help with homework. Please let me know if you have
any questions.
Science: We will begin our study of nocturnal animals beginning
with the bat. We will be reading/researching and taking notes. We will use the
note to write informative paragraphs. Some key vocabulary words include:
nocturnal, adaptation, echolocation, camouflage, prey, predator, diet and
habitat.
Social Studies: We will read our Scholastic News titled Why
Do We Explore.
