Reading: This week we continue with Unit 5 Non-Fiction. This week our focus is on determining the author's point and the reasons they use to support that point. An example is, the author's main point is that dogs are the best pet. Reasons could include, 1. You can teach them tricks. 2. They are always happy to see you. 3. You have to walk them so you get exercise too. It is much like their opinion writing where the students made a claim and then supported that claim with three reasons.
Phonics: This week we are working on decoding words with the /ui/ sound, as in suit and cruise Red words: keep, goes, pace, seafood Language Arts: We continue to work on writing complete sentences with a subject (naming part) and a predicate (action part). We also continue to use correct capitalization and punctuation. Writing: We continue our informational writing unit this week. We will be writing about space. We will practice using graphic organizers to take notes. Math: This week will be subtracting 3 digit numbers. We will be using base ten blocks and also breaking apart the second number into hundreds, tens, and ones and subtracting it from the first number. An example follows: When using this strategy always keep the first number the same and only decompose the second number. 352-261 352-(200+60+1) 352-200=152 152-60= 92 (count backwards by 10s, six times) 92-1=91 Science: This week we will continue to investigate the properties of stars. We will also review for the unit assessment on Friday.
