Thank you to everyone who helped make our Make A Wish Day possible by sending in talent gear or coming in to support and watch! It was a very exciting time for the Dragonflies and we appreciate all of your support! I was so proud of everyone for sharing their talents and interests for such a great cause! We will be counting our donations and cards on Monday!
Reading
We have really stepped it up in reading this week. We are noticing trends in the series books we are reading. We have gotten to know our characters so well that we can now make predictions! Many of us have been right in our predictions and it is so fun to keep reading and find the answer!
Writing
We have talked about each part of a lab report in more depth this week. Next week we will continue to experiment based off of the questions we came up with from our last experiment. We talked about how scientists don't always get one right answer. Sometimes they leave an experiment with MORE questions! We are still working on our States of Matter Unit.
Word Work
I am so glad we took an extra week to review our sort words. We are truly experts now and I have seen such an improvement in applying the word rule to writing this week! Thank you for taking the time at home with this as well!
Math
We have been working so hard on place value this week and we are ready to move on to measurement! The homework that was sent home was a review of place value. This is a tricky concept for some students. If you have time over the weekend or the winter break please go over this with your child! We will continue working on it in school as well. Also, please keep studying math words, as it is a big part of Unit 4 as well. If you want to review place value at home:
To write a number in expanded form, it looks like this: 617= 600+ 10+7
To write a number in word form looks like this: six hundred seventeen
The VALUE of the 6 is: 600
The PLACE of the 6 is: hundreds
The VALUE of the 1 is: 10
The PLACE of the 1 is: tens
The VALUE of the 7 is: 7
The PLACE of the 7 is: ones
Have a great weekend!
