At the bottom of the reading log this week, it states students may work on i-Ready reading or KidBiz 3000 1 or 2 days. Please have students record this as their reading at home for that day! The links to these online programs are always on the right side of the blog. Thank you!
READING: This week we implemented Socratic seminar discussion groups into our reading block.
We created guidelines to help our discussions go smoothly. Then students looked at chapter 6 in Because of Winn-Dixie and independently recorded evidence that showed the emotions of Opal and the Preacher.
This week as we read chapters 7-9 in Because of Winn-Dixie, students will continue to look at what the characters do, what they say, and what they think. All of these behaviors lead the reader to identify character traits and feelings based on patterns. Below is an organizer we will use as we read. |
Analyzing Characters:
| ||
Collect Evidence: what the character does, says and thinks
|
Patterns: Find what is common among your notes about your character (look for patterns)
|
New Understanding: How is this character moving the story forward?
|

MATH: This week in math we will continue working with our addition strategies. Addition strategies covered include breaking the numbers apart and then adding by place, adding one of the number in parts and changing the numbers in order to make them easier to add. We will begin learning subtraction strategies such as subtracting a number in parts, adding up, and subtracting back. Please continue to review the following strategies at home.
Addition Strategies:
Adding
by Place:
|
Adding
one number
on
in parts:
|
Changing
the numbers:
|
394 + 175 =
|
349 + 175 =
|
349 + 175 =
|
300 + 100 = 400
|
349 + 100 = 449
|
350 + 175 = 525
|
40 + 70 = 110
|
449 + 50 = 499
|
525 – 1 = 524
|
9 + 5 = 14
|
499 + 25 = 524
|
|
400 + 110 + 14 = 524
|
Subtracting
in parts:
|
Adding
up:
|
Subtracting
back:
|
451 – 187 =
|
451 - 187
|
451 - 187
|
451 – 100 = 351
|
187 + 13 = 200
|
451 – 51 = 400
|
351 – 80 = 271
|
200 + 251 = 451
|
400 – 200 = 200
|
271 – 7 = 264
|
13 + 251 = 264
|
200 – 13 = 187
|
51 + 200 + 13 = 264
