Study Sight Words(Assessment 4) Test November 30th


This week we are learning:

Math: This week students will be decomposing numbers to help them solve addition problems.
For example, 32+31 is 30+2 and 30+1 so 30+30 is 60 and 2+1 is 3 so the sum is 63. They will be using manipulatives at first when decomposing and then will move ahead without them by mid-week.   Students will also be going to review stations to continue to work on previous taught skills such as place value and adding using an open number line.

Science: This week students will be classifying matter by physical properties including shape, mass, temperature, flexibility, as well as determine the state of matter. (Solid, Liquid, Gas) Students will be actively involved in a lab this week where they will be able to compare changes in materials caused by heating and cooling. They will have a test over Matter on Thursday. We will be reviewing in class for the test on Wednesday.
