I hear the weather is suppose to start getting warmer by the end of the week. Let’s hope it does!
Here is our Week at a Peek:
| Reading | We are working on identifying challenges that main characters face in fictional stories and how they respond to those challenges. | |
| Spelling | We are working on regular plural nouns: -s, -es, or -ies. Most nouns that end in a consonant or e, add “s”. If the noun ends in s, ss, x, sh, ch, or zz then add “es”. If the noun ends in y, then change the “y” to “i”, and add “es.” | boxes, witches, dishes, fixes, sandwiches, foxes, stitches, mixes, riches, brushes, benches, beaches, lunches, peaches, branches |
| Writing | We are beginning researching on an animal and writing a short report about it. We will be doing the complete writing process including pre-writing with a graphic organizer, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. We will be using books provided in class. | |
| Math | We continue practicing several strategies for adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers. This week we are focused on the vertical algorithm using a place value chart and dots. | |
| Science | We are exploring how plants adapt to their environment to survive including how seeds travel, how they meet their basic needs of sunlight and water, and how they protect themselves. | |
| Social Studies | Students are exploring how and why a community changes over time by examining housing, transportation, population, and community growth. | The House on Maple Street |
