Oct. 5 to Oct. 9

Do you ever get to the middle of the week, and then realize, IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK!  I am sorry for not posting our learning goals earlier.  The days are flying by a little too quickly.

Reading: We are in Week 3 of  Unit 1: Changes.  This week, our focus question is "What changes can we choose to make?"  We are reading a story called Scaredy Squirrel to examine this question. We will be working on making inferences (thoughts we have based on what we already know plus what the book tells us), using word relationships to determine meanings of words, and using prefixes that mean "not".

Vocabulary: familiar, prepare

Spelling: Long /i/ Words

Math: Use different properties to add numbers (Commutative: change the order of the addends and Associative:  choose the order in which you add the addends), Add using Expanded Form

Writing: Make a numbered list on LEAD 21 about changes you choose, discuss brainstorming activities

We will also be using Typing Club to learn keyboarding skills.

Thank you!
