HOMEWORK
This week’s homework is to read “Time For Kids, Presidents Then and Now”. Read the magazine and complete the “maze match” on the back. No need to return. For math, work for at least 15 minutes on IXL. Remember to access IXL from our Caraway website. (Students, IXL)
READING and WRITING
This week we will be using our research skills and learn about two important presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We will ask open-ended questions and develop a plan for answering these questions. Our plan includes exploring a variety of sources such as books, digital books, Pebble Go, and Brain pop Jr, recording the information we gather and organizing our ideas and information in our writings.
MATH
This week in math we will continue working on solving word problems with objects and pictorial models that involve joining, separating, and comparing sets within 20. We will represent those problems with number sentences. “Think addition” is a powerful way to solve subtraction problems. We can use what we know about fact families and number relations. But we also want students to think of subtraction when they are to find a missing part or unknown addend. We will also review patterns and determine a number that is 10 more or 10 less than a number through 99.
SOCIAL STUDIES
This week in social studies we will learn about physical characteristics of places and different landforms such as plains, valleys, mountains and hills. We will also learn about different bodies of water and the characteristics of each such as river, lake and ocean.
THANK YOU!
