ELA:
Please check
out Mrs. Townsend’s dojo site for reading activities and spelling words for
this week.
Math:
This week in
math, we will begin our module 3 lessons revisiting the commutative property of
multiplication introduced in module 1.
The students will recognize that if they know 3x6=18, then they also know
6x3=18. Students will apply the
commutative property with the n + 1 strategy to solve unknown facts. For
example, students will relate 5x8 and 8x5, and then add one more group of 8(n)
to solve 6x8 and 8x6. The students will
be using a letter to represent the unknown in various positions within
multiplication and division problems.
Example problem: Twenty –four people line up to use the
canoes at the park. Three people are
assigned to each canoe. How many canoes
are used?
Things to practice at home:
Study for end
of module 2 assessment (using study guide provided last week)
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

Science:
This week in Science,
we will be learning about ways that energy changes form. The students will learn about energy causing
motion and change through examining the cause and effect relationships and
sequence of events.
