This week...


Reading- Students will look at text features across different genres. We will discuss why they are important and how they help us understand. We will create a notes flip chart that students can use for an open notes quiz on Friday!
Writing: This week students will focus on how to generate good ideas for narrative writing. We will also learn how to make an everyday moment exciting and new.
Math – This week students will continue to use place value to read, write, compare and order whole numbers. We will also begin Decimal Place Value.  Comparing the decimals to money will be important in student understanding of decimals at this point.  Later in the year we will compare decimals in more detail to fractions, which will also aid in student understanding.
Science – Students will describe how to demonstrate safety during investigations, discover new information using the scientific process, as well as identify and explain how to use scientific tools.
Social Studies – Students will learn about the Native American tribes that were the firstTexans. We will begin work on a flip chart to record important information about each tribe. Students will also get their vocabulary for this unit to begin studying for a quiz to come.
