ELA: We are looking at the final page in our text, Bullfrog at Magnolia Circle this week. This page is informational text and has a glossary. We have already worked in pairs to determine the main idea of each paragraph and this week we will identify key details to support these main ideas. Students will also create vocabulary posters in cooperative groups for each of the 5 glossary words: amphibian, bayou, crustacean, tadpole, and tympanum.
Later in the week, we will have a "Science Talk". This involves students working with one question and preparing their answer with their opinions and evidence from the text. They will have learning targets that include following our conversation norms, This is an excellent exercise for team building and learning how to communicate in a group setting, much like a business meeting!
MATH:
The students will continue estimating sums and differences
of measurements by rounding, and then solving mixed word problems. We will
revisit the commutative property of multiplication to find known facts of 6, 7,
8, and 9. We will be applying the distributive and commutative properties to
relate multiplication facts.
Homework:
Module 2 Lesson 20
Module 2 Lesson 21
Module 3 Lesson 1
Module 3 Lesson 2
Study for End of Module Test
(End of Module Test Friday)
Things to practice at home:
Use place value understanding and vertical number line to
round numbers to nearest 10 or 100.
Practice adding and subtracting numbers within 1000.
Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time
intervals in minutes.
Continue practicing multiplication facts 2 to 10

for homework help and strategies to help with solving
homework problems. You may also find the
homework videos helpful.
SCIENCE:
The students will continue to study matter focusing on how
matter is measured, the different states of matter, and how matter can be
described. They will create a concept
map describing matter to help them organize key concepts.
