READING
We will continue our study of expository/non-fiction text. As a class we discussed the features of nonfiction such as real photos, table of contents, glossary, caption, labels, index, diagram, and maps. We concluded that the purpose of reading nonfiction text is to learn! We also learned the differences between fiction and nonfiction. This week we will learn about the main idea in a book Vs. the most important information in the book. When we read a non-fiction, the cover book, the title and the pictures in the book will help us to understand the main idea in the book. The important facts and information are related to the questions that we might have before or during reading the book.
A beautiful story for your child to listen to. This is a fiction story read by CCH Pounder. Have your child compare the features of this story to a non-fiction that we read at school about spiders.

WRITING
We will continue writing non-fiction. We are learning how to draw careful diagrams like scientist and label the parts. Our goal is to write important facts that we learn after reading non-fiction texts and write them in our own words. We are writing facts so we can teach others about what we have learned.

So far, we have been working on place value. The children have learned that the place of a digit in a number matters and depending on its place a digit can represent tens, or ones. This week we will continue learning about building numbers to 99 using ten sticks (base ten blocks) and ones. We will also compare numbers, or finding 10 less, or ten more than a number using number line or hundred chart and review the vocabulary, greater than, less than or equal to. We will apply our knowledge of number line and number comparison to solve everyday math problem.
SCIENCES
This week in science we will learn about different forms of energy such as light, heat and sound. We will discuss the importance of energy in everyday life and how scientists use energy to invent objects that improve our daily lives.
