Tonight's homework is page 15 in the math textbook. A number of students struggled with the lesson today, so please feel free to give you child some support, if necessary. Encourage your child to look back into section 1.2 for additional help.
In reading, students are working on answering text-dependent questions by locating and citing evidence from the text. We are also beginning a writing unit focusing on writing a personal narrative. Students also received their monthly vocabulary words today. They will work with these words all month and will have a quiz in about 4 weeks. The words are:
composer
discovery
encouragement
hopeless
impossible
musician
richest
unfriendly
In Social Studies, students will be reading about the 5 regions of the U.S. and taking notes. We'll also be learning about major geological features of the U.S. by creating a 3D elevation map using salt dough. After this week (week 2 of Social Studies), students will begin working on their first science unit.
Finally math, we are learning to read and write whole numbers, compare and order numbers, round numbers, and rename numbers during Chapter 1. All of these share a focus on place value. Since some students have struggled with this, here's a resource you may want to use with your child:

Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can be of any additional help. Thanks so much for your support!
