This week begins our study of the famous dog sled race across the wilderness of Alaska, the Iditarod. This great race commemorates the famous dog sled relay race against time to save the children and town of Nome, Alaska, from the horrible disease known as diphtheria. Our realistic fiction novels for this week and next week will be, Silver, by Gloria Whelan, and Balto of the Blue Dawn, by Mary Pope Osborne.
Our writing focus will continue to be informational writing activities within our reading and social studies. (W2.2) Students will also be writing a biography about their own musher from the Iditarod race.

Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.
Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900.

Our focus will be using strategies for adding and subtracting within 1,000. We will continue to use our place value chart math drawings and to use the written vertical algorithm method to represent the composition when adding and subtracting. We will also continue a detailed study of identifying attributes of geometric shapes.

Our Social Studies standard will be writing a biography about our Iditarod musher.
