This week we are learning:
Math: This week students will be decomposing numbers to help them solve subtraction problems.
For example, 32-31 is 30+2 and 30+1 so 30-30 is 0 and 2-1 is 1 so the difference is 1. They will be using manipulatives at first when decomposing and then will move ahead without them by mid-week. Students will be doing a great deal of problem solving this week with both addition and subtraction and will be able to to use any strategy that they choose including the original algorithm which will be taught this 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. This whole week will be dedicated to the different changes that can be made to matter.
Reading: Students will be learning about main idea and supporting
details in Non Fiction
Writing: Students will be brainstorming ideas and start
drafting for their next All About Book (self-selected topic).
