• Using context clues to determine meaning of unknown word in a given text
• Dropping the final e before adding -ed or -ing
• Going back in our writing and adding adjectives to create more detailed sentences
• Verb agreement with is/are/was/were

Word Wall Words:

MATH:

This week we will be working on the following skills:

• Continued practice on place value (hundreds, tens, ones and beyond)
• Understanding the difference between finding the digit and the value of the underlined digit in numbers to 120 and beyond
• Using our place value knowledge to read and write the number given in a specific word sentence. Example- four tens, seven ones, and eight hundreds = 841
• Strategies for solving word problems and showing evidence for how we solved the problems

SCIENCE:
We will continue learning more about light and shadows.

Words Their Way:
Your child will be introduced to a new sort this week based on his/her developmental spelling. Please keep an eye out for your child's sort so the spelling pattern can be reinforced at home.
