Focus for the Week of November 4th.

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 learn to identify the main topic of a multiparagraph text as well as the focus of specific paragraphs within the text.

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 about the Miller garden.

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.
