READING and WRITING
We are continuing with our animal research this week. The children are doing a great job finding the information in their research book, summarizing it and recording it in their own words. They are using all the tools in the non-fiction books such as table of contents, real photos, captions, labels, maps and diagrams to find the answers to their questions. We also use on-line sources such as Pebble Go or other reliable sources to find the information that we are looking for. There are times that we find an expert (friends that know so much about a particular animal) and ask them some of our questions. We have quite a few experts in our classroom so far, but I can see that by the end of this unit we are all going to be research/animal experts!
MATH
This week we will review and work more on place value. We will use concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers up to 120 in more than one way as so many hundreds, so many tens, and so many ones. For example one hundred can be shown as 100 ones, 10 groups of tens, or 1 one hundred. This will help us to read and write three-digit numbers that do not involve teens. For example, 105 has one 100, 0 tens and 5 ones. We will use our knowledge of place value and apply it in math problem solving.
SCIENCES
This week we will continue our PBL (Project Based Learning) about deer, the ecosystem that they live in and the impact that they have in our community. We have done some research about the plants and flowers that deer don't like and this week we will continue our research to find out more about this. Out goal is to find out about the problems and challenges that our community faces about deer and to find out possible solutions.

THANK YOU!
Thank you for stuffing the folders, and being willing to help in the classroom or outside the classroom. Your helping hands and hearts are greatly appreciated!
More than anything, thank you for supporting your child's learning at home. Your child's success and education is a result of, us working together! So thank you for being a partner in your child's learning!
