Week at a Glance

Week of September 5-10, 2021

**No school on Monday → Labor Day

Math: This week we will work on writing 3-digit numbers in standard form, expanded form, and word form. (for example, 572  = five hundred seventy-two= 500+ 70 + 2). Later in the week, we practice decomposing numbers in different ways with hundreds, tens, and ones.We will also compare three digit numbers using less than < greater than > and equal to =. 

Science: No Science this week 

Language Arts: During Writing time, we identify the parts of a friendly letter. We will think about, plan, and write out these letters. Please be on the lookout for a note home asking for an address in the coming weeks (for where to mail the letter).

Reading: Students will work on decoding and encoding words with digraphs ch and sh, along with words containing -tch. (Note: The spelling list will go home Tuesday in the students’ folders, but the test won’t be until next week.) The students’ spelling list focuses on pronouns. We will read from our decodable SuperKids reader, and introduce our Super Magazine, which contains short, nonfiction, high-interest articles for the students to read in small groups and independently.

Social Studies: We will continue to compare different types of families and communities. We will also learn about how immigrants entered our country through Ellis Island and how we celebrate different traditions based on our different cultures.

Religion: We will discuss how Jesus is God’s greatest gift to us. We will read about when Jesus was born. We will address the following vocabulary words in the context of the Catholic Mass: Blessed Sacrament, tabernacle, consecration, and genuflect.

Assessments: None for this week

• No school → Monday (Labor Day)  - I hope you have a great Labor Day weekend!
