ELA: 
We are beginning a new module of study this week! In this module, students will use literacy skills to become experts—people who use reading, writing, listening, and speaking to build and share deep knowledge about the topic of FROGS! Our first text is Bullfrog at Magnolia Circle.
Click on the cover for a video reading of the text.

            
As we explore this new text and topic this week, we will read closely and focus on main idea, supporting details, and vocabulary. Not only will we look at details in the text which support the main idea, we will look at illustrations and think about key details they have that help us understand the main idea. In our vocabulary work, we will look at specific words and phrases and determine why we think the author chose them for this text. Although this text is written in a narrative format, it is filled with great information that will help students become experts on the topic of frogs.

In writing this week, we will begin with a free write on what we know about frogs. As we learn new information from our text, we will add information to our writing. Midweek, we will begin to organize our information into categories using index cards.

Home learning: Please continue to read at home daily and complete 1-2 Achieve3000 articles during the week.

MATH:
We will begin adding two and three-digit measurements including intervals of minutes within 1 hour.  The students will apply the place value concepts they practiced with rounding to model composing larger units.  They will solve measurement word problems drawing tape diagrams.  The students will round to estimate the sums of measurements and then solve problems determining the reasonableness of their solutions.  The students will use the standard algorithm for subtraction to solve two and three digit metric measurements and intervals of minutes within 1 hour problems.
