Week of August 6th

Grammar: We will focus on common and proper nouns. Nouns name people, places, and things. A common noun names general items. Proper nouns, those that name specific things, do require capitalization.

Spelling: There will be no spelling this week. We will begin spelling next week.

Reading: We will be learning about Beginning, Middle, and End in a story. The beginning= setting the scene where characters are introduced and setting is described. The beginning includes who, when and where. Middle= development plot which what is happening. Ending= how the problem was resolved, a reflection on what happened

Writing: This 9 weeks we will learn about narrative writing and discussing how a checklist can help. As we continue to practice the routines of writing, we will review how to revise writing. A good way to revise this week at home is making sure that each sentence has a capital letter and punctuation. .

Math: We will be learning how to represent numbers differently through number form, base 10 form, expanded form, and word form. Number form=134, base ten form= using base ten blocks, expanded form=100 + 30 +4, and word form=one hundred thirty four.
