Special Friends Day Visitor Sign Up
This year we are asking that parents fill in the link below to add the special friend that is coming with their child. This link will:
1. Give permission for the individual to attend the event
2. Expedite the sign in process by not going through the raptor system, which can take a lot of time. If you fill this out, you will be given a sticker at check in.

What are we learning?

Math
In math, learners will continue representing numbers (up to 100,000) in multiple ways and compare and order them based on their place value. Learners will explain the relationship in the base-ten system, and represent this relationship using expanded notation. This week, we will specifically be focusing on rounding numbers through 100,000 to the nearest ten and hundred. We will also introduce estimating sums and differences. 

Language Arts
In reading, we will continue to work on making predictions about our reading. We will also continue to track our reading.

In writing, we will continue our beginning of the year writing prompt and work on the conventions of writing. We will also begin our grammar talks. 

Science
In science, learners will focus on being able to identify and describe what makes a solid, liquid, and gas. We will examine the similarities and differences, as well as investigate examples of each. Towards the end of the week we will start to learn about changes in states of matter such as freezing, melting, evaporation, and condensation. 

Social Studies
In social studies, learners will continue studying various cultures. We will also practice comparing and contrasting them.
