This week in math we have started learning about place value and how to write numbers with the digit in the correct place for thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones! We will continue this in the coming weeks as well as continue practicing writing numbers in their word form.
In language arts, we continued our practice of writing different types of sentences based on a picture that we were given. Students wrote a statement, exclamatory sentence, and a question using the appropriate punctuation for their sentence. We are working on remembering to always start our sentences with a capital letter and include the appropriate punctuation for the type of sentences that is written.
In science, we learned about specific materials, such as wood, plastic, glass, metal, fabric, paper, stone, leather, and rubber, and identified various objects that could be made out of each one. Next week, we will be discussing properties of these materials and discuss why we would choose materials with certain properties to build something.
We painted in art this week! We used curved lines to guide our background colours as we created pictures of a ghost flying with a haunted house and a moon in the night sky!
In writing this week, students wrote about what they are thankful for as we are heading into Thanksgiving weekend. With our buddies, we also wrote one thing for each letter of the alphabet of things we are thankful for. We have also been reviewing long vowel sounds. Next week, we will identify exceptions to the 'bossy e' rule and when to add '-s' or '-es' to the end of a word to make it plural.
Our spelling words for next week will continue to align with our math focus, and our sentences will align with the spelling rules we are learning in class.
1. ten
2. twenty
3. thirty
4. forty
5. fifty
6. sixty
