Reading: Students will develop drafts into a focused piece of writing by organizing with structure and developing an idea with specific and relevant details; revise drafts by adding, deleting, or rearranging words, phrases, or sentences; compose informational texts, including procedural texts and reports
Students will also evaluate details read to determine key ideas; synthesize information to create new understanding; use text evidence to support an appropriate response; the central idea with supporting evidence with adult assistance; develop drafts into a focused piece of writing by organizing with structure and developing an idea with specific and relevant details: revise drafts by adding, deleting, or rearranging words, phrases, or sentences: compose informational texts, including procedural texts and reports: and make inferences and use evidence to support understanding
Blue book bags and reading logs are sent home every day. Students should be reading 2 steps (30 minutes) each night and logging it on their reading log. Each Friday, your child's teacher will collect these, record them, and send them back with an updated number of steps.
Grammar: This quarter students will write complete sentences with subject‐verb agreement, identify and use singular, plural, common, and proper nouns, and identify and use pronouns, including subjective, objective, and possessive cases.
Social Studies: Students will identify functions of governments such as establishing order, providing security, and managing conflict; identify governmental services in the community such as police and fire protection, libraries, schools, and parks and explain their value to the community; and identify ways that public officials are selected, including election and appointment to office.
Science: Students will demonstrate and explain that sound is made by vibrating matter and that vibrations can be caused by a variety of means, including sound; explain how different levels of sound are used in everyday life such as a whisper in a classroom or a fire alarm; and design and build a device using tools and materials that uses sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance.
Phonics: This quarter students will read and spell words with closed and open syllables, read and spell words with ending spelling patterns: tch /ch/, dge /j/, long VCC (-ild, -old, -ind, -olt, -ost), and -le. If students are practicing these pages, feel free to add it to their Home Reading Log.
Math: In Module 4, students use their knowledge of place value and properties of operations to build fluency in two-digit addition and subtraction within 100, and to solve one- and two-step word problems within 100. This module also builds students' understanding of addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers within 200. Your student will:
Learn simplifying strategies to develop fluency.
Learn how to add vertically with a focus on building lasting place value understanding.
Model and record the steps of the vertical form by using place value disks on a place value chart.
Use drawings of place value disks and the chip model to show place value concepts at work.
Subtract vertically by aligning place value units.
Compose, or bundle, tens and hundreds when adding.
Use known facts, such as 5 + 8 = 13 (5 ones + 8 ones = 13 ones), to solve more complex problems, such as 50 + 80 = 130 (5 tens + 8 tens = 13 tens).
Deepen their understanding of the repetitive nature of the subtraction algorithm, unbundling 1 hun- dred for 10 tens and 1 ten for 10 ones when necessary.
Compare and discuss the various strategies for adding and subtracting up to 200.
Learn about an addition method called totals below.
Solve and create one- and two-step word problems.
We Sanford teachers truly appreciate the support of Homeroom Parents, and the children love having their families involved.
