MATH ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

This week, students will delve
deeper into place value and the
fact that the position of a number determines
its value. They will be able to write greater
numbers in four ways: standard form, expand-
ed form, base ten model and word form.
Please continue to practice their basic addition
and subtraction facts with them. They will
need to have a good grasp of these facts in or-
der to do well in adding and subtracting great-
er numbers and for regrouping. Tutoring for
math is from 3:30-4:30 . Title I tutoring will
also be available soon.
This week in Language, we
will begin using our interactive
notebooks to help with assign-
ments about plural nouns. In
spelling, students will be spelling words with ew and
oo. The wor ds and sentences can be found in the
assignment and project section of the weebly page.
In reading, we are concluding the portion of our unit
on folk tales, fairy tales, fables, trickster tales and
parables. We will begin a more contemporary collec-
tion of stories this week. Be thinking of a story that
has been handed down in your family for a future
assignment. Be on the lookout this week for their
first probe book assignment! Tutoring for reading
begins on Tuesdays from 3:30-4:30. Title I tutoring
will be available soon as well.
