Students will be able to read numbers up to 1200 as well as write them in expanded , written, and pictorial form. Students will have an assessment over numeracy later on in the week.We will be doing a great deal of problem solving this week. Students will have time in class to solve mixed addition and subtraction word problems without regrouping. They should be using the UPS strategies that we are going over in class.  In addition to numeracy we will begin to look at addition of two digit numbers with regrouping. This will be towards the end of the week and students will get to work with manipulatives  to see the changes being made within the addition sentences. 

Science: We will be continuing our unit over natural resources. Students will be able to identify natural resources and discuss how we can conserve these resources. Students will have a hands on lab with Mrs. Sustaita sometime during the week. 

Reading: Students will be taking a reading test on Tuesday and will be introduced to poetry later on in the week.
