Question of the Week: What creative solutions do people come up with to survive in their environment?

Learning goals for the week:

  • I can learn more about themes concerning environments by analyzing text features in an informational text.
  • I can develop knowledge about language to make connections between reading and writing.
  • I can use elements of narrative text to write a personal narrative (pn)

Objectives:

  • Use text evidence to support an appropriate response.
  • Interact with sources in  meaningful ways such as: note taking, annotating, freewriting, or illustrating.
  • Identify can compare how people in different communities adapt to or modify the physical environment in which they live such as deserts, mountains, wetlands, and plains.
  • Generate questions about text before, during, and after reading to deepen understanding and gain information. 
  • Make connections to personal experiences, ideas in text, and society.

Writing:

  • Daily writing entries in October journal and ELA packet
  • Daily entries in Spelling Menu Packet
  • Writing about a famous Hispanic American 


Math: Begin Chapter 3- Subtraction:

Math vocabulary: difference, subtract, estimate, inverse operations, regroup

Monday- Show what you know about subtraction page-

Monday also, Lesson 1- Subtract mentally: Use strategies to subtract mentally

Tuesday- Lesson 2- Estimate Differences- Estimate differences using rounding to the nearest ten or hundred.

Wednesday: Lesson 3- Problem Solving Investigation: Estimate or exact answer: Determine whether an estimate or an exact answer is needed to solve a problem.

Thursday- Lesson 4- Hands on: Subtract with regrouping: Model subtraction with regrouping.

Thursday- Check what you know: Half way through the chapter recheck on past lessons


Religion: Begin Unit 2 Session 6- Jesus’ Good News- Jesus the Son teaches us about the Kingdom of God the Father through parables.

Jesus tells parables through which he reveals the Kingdom of God to us. In the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast, Jesus the Son compares the kingdom to tiny things that become large manifestations of God the Father’s love. He teaches us to serve the kingdom by showing our love of God, our neighbors, and ourselves through acts of kindness.

 

Science:

1. Start on Chapter 1 Lesson 2

2. By the end of this lesson, the student should be able to investigate the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.

3. Vocab Words: force, friction, magnetism

Standards for the week:

CI-3-PS2.A.3
Each force acts on one particular object and has both strength and a direction. An object at rest typically has multiple forces acting on it, but they add to give zero net force on the object. Forces that do not sum to zero can cause changes in the object's speed or direction of motion. (Boundary: Qualitative and conceptual, but not quantitative addition of forces are used at this level.)
 
DCI-3-PS2.A.4
The patterns of an object's motion in various situations can be observed and measured; when that past motion exhibits a regular pattern, future motion can be predicted from it. (Boundary: Technical terms, such as magnitude, velocity, momentum, and vector quantity, are not introduced at this level, but the concept that some quantities need both size and direction to be described is developed.)
 
PE-3-PS2-1
Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
 
PE-3-PS2-2
Make observations and/or measurements of an objects motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
