Peek at our short week!

Math

This week we started Topic 5. In this unit, students are expected to understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represents amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones. 

We can:

• Count within 1000 and skip count by 5's, 10's, and 1000
• Read and write numbers to 1000 using number names

Next week, we will learn about standard form, how to compare numbers using symbols, even and odd numbers, and how to add and subtract 10 from any two-digit number.

We are LOVING our writing unit on nonfiction narratives!! We are continuing to research Amelia Earhart! We used links to websites to gather more information.  We wrote facts on sticky notes and placed them in chronological order on the chart paper.  Next, we divided into 4 groups: Growing Up, Middle Years, Final Years, and Amazing Facts.  Each group is responsible for creating that section of our class book. This week we focused on making our facts exciting and interesting for our readers and adding time order words. We drafted our facts on sentence strips and we will be ready to publish on Monday! 

Lunch group! Nice work Zohar and Taylor!

This week we have our first group of XtraMath Rockstars!! Keep up the good work!
