I hope all of you enjoyed a wonderful Labor Day weekend! This week, students will work with solving addition and subtraction problems. We encourage students to try a variety of strategies: place value drawings, expanded form, show all totals. After students have reviewed these skills, we'll move to word problems in which students have to discern which operation they need to do in order to solve for the answer. In reading, students will be concentrating on how to construct a response that explicitly refers to details in the text. I will model how students need to provide multiple details as they answer questions. We'll continue with our unit's theme of overcoming challenges as we look for central messages in our read aloud books. In science, we'll review the joints and focus on the thumb joint. Following this, students will learn about muscles and make models to demonstrate how they contract and relax. Please remember to sign your name once your student completes their daily reading assignment. The math spiral review attached to the reading assignment needs to be turned in on Friday mornings. This green Monday folder needs to be returned tomorrow morning. Thank you for how you're supporting your child at home! Amy Flowers [email protected]
