Curriculum September 26-29

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that you were able to enjoy some of the beautiful weather.  :)
enVision Math
We will focus on subtraction this week.  Models for subtracting 3-digit numbers, subtracting 3-digit numbers, subtracting across zero, and drawing a picture with a number sentence to work on problem solving.  We will take the Topic 3 test on Friday.

Rigby Reading
We will continue Theme 3 in Rigby this week. We will review asking questions and work on inferring. The students will be expected to read between the lines of what the author is implying in his or her writing.

Grammar- The focus will be on subjects and predicates.

The extension word focus is uni, which means one.

Science
We will continue to learn about different stars and the different phases of the moon.  Look for a project to come home on observing the stars.  Also, look for the solar house project to be sent home this week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Social Studies
We culminated our Communities unit with our community walk, which was very successful. The students were spreading a little sunshine along the way by handing out little sunshine cutouts with positive messages on them.  Those who received them were all impressed and had smiles on their faces.  McDonalds went very well.  The kids quickly learned how important it was to apply tax when calculating the costs of their meals.  It was a great real-life learning experience!
 
We will be starting a geography unit next week.
