Reading/Writing

Our focus this week is Inferencing or what it means to Infer.  When you make an Inference you use the clues from the story plus what you already know to figure out something that the author doesn’t directly tell you.  The stories we will be reading to help us with our inferencing skills is: A Weekend With Wendall by Kevin Henkes,  Horace and Morace, but Mostly Dolores by James Howe and Miss Nelson is Missing by Harry Allard.

In writing we are learning that a Common Noun is a person, place or thing and that a Proper Noun is a special name for a common noun.  We are also learning that a Verb is an action word or something that a noun does.

Math

For the next couple of weeks we will be focusing on Place Value up to 1,200 or the Thousands Place.  We will learning how to show our numbers in different ways, whether it be Standard Form= 386, Pictorial Form= Drawing the numbers using base ten blocks, Expanded Form= 300+80+6 or Written Form= Three Hundred Eighty-Six.
