This week in math, students will describe the mathematical relationships found in the base-10 place value system through the hundred thousands place. Students will create and practice writing numbers in standard, word, and expanded form. We will also be locating numbers on a number line this week.
Reading
Students will learn all about what it means to have a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset during our reading time. We will discuss the term perseverance, and students will create important goals that they have for themselves. They will end the week with reading and completing some growth mindset reading passages.
Writing
We will be reading A Tiger Tail earlier this week. This story is about a little girl, Anya, who wakes up with a tail and has a crazy first day of school. Students will brainstorm and come up with something crazy that could have happened to them on the first day of school. They will write a short story describing the events of their wild first day! We will end the week with discussing and practicing the importance of reinstating the question when answering a question.
Social Studies
Students will understand the value of community. Our focus is on how the students can use their individual skills, whatever they may be, to better our classroom community.
Science
Science journals are being set up this week. We will be going over journal expectations, science safety, and by the end of the week I will be introducing our first unit on Classifying Matter.
