Math
You guys, we are about to really get down with that wonderful, genius system we all know and love called PLACE VALUE! We have discussed different ways to represent numbers including standard form, Base 10, expanded form, and expanded notation! Well, if that has you excited, you will simply adore the Base 10 relationship, which articulates that every place value is ten times more than the place value on the right. For instance, the tens place is TEN TIMES MORE than the ones place! Amazing! We will also be composing and decomposing numbers. Decomposing numbers means we will make numbers in different ways. For instance, you can make the number 47 different ways: 47 ones, or 4 tens 7 ones, or 2 tens and 27 ones...the list keeps going and going. This is called making exchanges. All of this place value talk is getting us ready for addition and subtraction with regrouping, and I for one, cannot wait.
Science
In Science we will spend next week looking at the weather in 2 different cities, Coppell and Santiago, Chile. We will look for similarities and differences in the weather in the 2 areas. We will continue to look at the weather in these 2 cities over the next few months to learn about the difference between weather and climate.
Reading/Writing
In Writing next week we will be focusing on our writing stamina! We will be spending time working on what it looks and sounds like during our independent writing time.
In reading we will be discussing how to find good fit books as well as how to set appropriate goals.
Social Studies
In Social Studies, learners will be discussing why people form communities. I have asked the kiddos to talk with you this weekend about why you choose Coppell (or a surrounding city) to live in. We will share about it on Monday.
