ELA: Using an excerpt about how children access books in the country of Mongolia, we will complete our Mid-Unit 3 Assessment this week. Students will be well prepared for this as we have used similar texts in our daily lessons and have focused on similar text-dependent questions.

This a map of the countries in our book, My Librarian is a Camel.

For several days, we will be writing a paragraph about a librarian or organization from one of the texts we have read in this unit. Below are the criteria for the paragraph.

* A clear topic sentence that explains who the librarian or what the organization is.

* Important facts and details that help the reader know why your librarian/organization is special:

- in what country the librarian is located

- what the challenges are

- the steps needed to get books to children

- why the student selected that librarian or organization

* A conclusion that wraps up the paragraph

* Correct spelling, punctuation, and capitalization

At home this week, please read and log. Also, please complete at least one Achieve3000 lesson.

MATH: We will be reviewing rounding strategies and applying these strategies to our upcoming lessons.  The students will be rounding two- and three-digit measurements to the nearest ten on the vertical number line.  We will continue applying our rounding strategies to round to the nearest hundred on the vertical number line.  

What is one more ten than 7 tens?

Which number is halfway between 
7 tens and 8 tens?
