Math: Students will learn to add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. They will understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.Students will explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.
Writing: Students will learn how to write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events by developing believable characters in my story
Science: Students will learn about plants and how they grow. They will explore life cycles of silkworms, mealworms and butterflies.
Social Studies: They will describe the natural, human, and capital resources needed for production of a good or service in a community. Identify businesses in the local community.
