Week 5, First Nine Weeks

Math: Our focus this week continues to be place value: understanding the values of the digits and how each place value is related to another place value (ex: hundreds is 10x tens).  Later in the week, we'll begin working on rounding starting with using a number line to round.

Reading: The students will be reading short stories this week and discussing them, working on their listening and discussing skills as well as looking out for the signposts we have discussed.  Students will also determine the genres of the stories.

Language: Pronouns and possessive nouns will be the grammar focus of the week as we continue our unit on nouns.

Alabama History: Last week, we discussed geological features that you might find around the world.  This week, we will discuss the geographical features you can find in our state including what makes the five regions unique.

Science: The children will be honing in on their listening skills as we discover what makes sound and how you can change the pitches of different items.
