Math: The students are continuing with a place value menu: practicing reading large numbers, comparing large numbers, identifying place value, understanding value of a digit and writing numbers in expanded, word and standard form. There will probably be a couple assessments throughout the week so that the children can prove to me what they truly understand and what needs a bit more work.
Reading: Our study of genres continues this week as we read picture books and discuss characteristics of specific genres. The children are also learning more about the signposts that authors leave for us which give us clues to help us understand the text.
Language: We have been talking about nouns, proper nouns and correctly punctuating titles. The children will have an assessment on Wednesday on this topic. Here are a few online websites for practice:
- An online quiz about capitalization rules: Capitalization Quiz
- A different online quiz about capitalization rules: Capitalization Quiz
- An online quiz about punctuating titles: Punctuating Titles Quiz
- Information and online quiz about punctuating titles: Punctuating Titles
Later in the week, we will begin learning about pronouns.
Science: We will be starting the exciting unit of sound! The children will be learning more about the properties of sound and how our ears interpret sound. If you've got any expertise (or know someone that does) about the ear and would like to come in to tell the children more about this topic in the next couple of weeks, please let me know!
Alabama History: After discussing a bit of world geography, we will now begin talking about Alabama's geography and features that make our state unique.
