Focus for the week of November 25, 2019

Reading:  Students will learn to identify the main purpose of a text, including what the author wants to answer, explain, or describe. They will ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. Students will identify the main topic of a multi-paragraph text as well as the focus of specific paragraphs within the text

Math:  Students will compare and count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s. They will also compare two three-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

Writing: Students will begin to learn how to write an opinion text. We will be giving a preassessment.

Science: Students will plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
They will learn how different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties.

Social Studies:  Students will use maps to describe the spatial organization of the local community by applying concepts including relative location and using distance, direction, and scale. They will describe land use in the community(e.g. where people live, where services are provided, where products are made). Students will construct maps of the local community that contain symbols, labels, and legends denoting human and natural characteristics of place.
