Reading:  Students will learn to ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. They will know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently.

Math: Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. They will understand the following as special cases:
They will learn to count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.
Students will read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.

Writing: Students will understand how to write an informative/explanatory text in which they introduce a topic by explaining the definition and purpose of an informative or explanatory text.

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.

Math: Students will use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1 They will fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.2 By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.

Writing: Students will write narratives in which they recount a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure. Our students will use mentor texts to guide them with their narrative writing.

Our class will be having a math test on Friday morning, October 11, 2019. A study guide went home on Wednesday. The test covers centimeter measurements, comparisons between centimeters and meters, and paperclip measurement. Please review with your child.

Miller will have a half day on Friday morning. The dismissal is at 11:45 a.m.

Math: Students will measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit. They will measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen. Students will use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems involving lengths that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
