This week in...
Phonics: We are practicing with the following consonant digraphs: th, sh, ch, and tch. Our focus words are: each, teaching, teeth, wishbone, matching, which, path, fishing, watch, and dish.
Vocabulary: Our new vocabulary words are: students, effort, perform, mood, remember, and proud. After working with them, we'll search for them in a short story called A Little Symphony by Lani Perlin.
Comprehension: We will continue working on being able to summarize the most important parts of a story. However, we will also be talking about visualizing. Visualizing means picturing in your mind what is happening based on the dialogue, descriptions, and illustration. We'll practice these strategies while reading Dancing as a Team by Sharon Dennis Wyeth.
Writing: To coordinate with healthy choices going on here at school, we will be making posters to share with Russell School how we like to "move it!". These posters will be like advertisements for the activity we like to do most to keep our bodies healthy! Students will using the following checklist for their writing:
Ideas: Is my message clear?
Voice: Does my advertisement sound exciting? Does it make people want to "move it?"
Conventions: Did I start each sentence with a capital letter and end them with a period?
Word Choice: Did I use strong, lively words (not just fun) to make my advertisement exciting?
Grammar: We'll be working with the verb "have." It has two forms in the present tense, has and have. We use "has" when the subject is singular. We use "have" when the subject is plural, "I", or "you."
Math: We'll continue our focus on place value. Students are working at their own pace and making their own learning choices for how they will practice the skills on the following checklist (example included):
I can read and write a three digit number in standard and word form.
Example: 378 (standard form) Three hundred seventy eight (word form)
I can tell you what digit is in the ones, tens, and hundreds place in a three digit number.
Example: 536 5 is in the hundreds place, 3 is in the tens place, and 6 is in the ones place.
I can tell you how many bundles of 1, 10, and 100 are in a three digit number.
Example: 752 There are 7 bundles of 100, 75 bundles of 10, and 752 bundles of 1.
I can write a three digit number in expanded form.
Example: 139 Expanded form: 100+30+9
I can use <, >, and = to compare three digit numbers correctly.
Example: 545 > 341 148 < 981 107 = 107
I can skip count by 5s, 10s, and 100s up to 1,000.
Example:
By 5s: 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135...
By 10s: 410, 420, 430, 440, 450, 460...
By 100s: 217, 317, 417, 517, 617...
I can tell you the number that is the greatest and the least.
Example: 145 345 678 981 247 863 239
145 is the least and 981 is the greatest.
Social Studies: Some of our Flat Stanleys are already on their way back! We'll be talking about where in the world our Flat Kids went, locating it on a map, learning about the different places we visited, and calculating the distance we traveled! It's definitely an exciting time in room 10.
