This week, students will be previewing nonfiction books and getting their mental “arms” around their books. This includes making connections to the topic and determining what they know already and what they want to learn more about. In writing, students will continue planning their essay and working on the structure of the text.
Math
Students will be using their place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place value using real world situations.
Social Studies
This is a short week and students will be looking closely into each cultural universal ensuring they understand what it means and how it is a piece in the bigger picture - Culture.
Announcements
If your child is late (after 8:00am), please be awarer that they will need a tardy slip from the Elem. Office.
If you plan to pick up your child any time during the school day, you must check in with the Elem. office and then come up to the classroom to pick your child up.
Resources
Let’s face it...the way we think about math nowadays is very different than when we were kids. Teachers have learned a lot about how to teach math and want you to learn with us.
Check out this video from YouCubed that talks about the importance of thinking deeply in math. Speed not as important. How fast you are does not relate to how good you are. Calculation is only a small part of math. Thinking deeply about patterns and ideas in math is more important.
