Writing

This week, students will add action and images to their small moment stories to make their readers wonder what will happen next. We will continue to study Jane Yolen’s craft in Owl Moon by looking closely at her word choice.
Math
We will begin our place value unit this week.  We will define the words place, value, and digit. Students will count collections, build numbers, and play Roll it, build it, draw it.
Reading
In reading, students will learn that readers don't wait for someone else to catch their mistakes they check it themselves. They stop as soon as something doesn't make sense.
