Students will practice becoming detectives by looking closely at pictures and searching for evidence to draw conclusions. We will also be learning about non fiction text features (captions, headings, etc) and how they help us better understand the text. 

Math: Students will be practicing expressing 3 digit numbers by using number form, place value drawings, word form, and expanded form. We will also be skip counting by 5's, 10's and 100's using 3 digit numbers to count up to 1000. Students will be looking for patterns as they are skip counting to gain a better understanding of numbers. 

Science: We will be starting our Weather unit to discover how the sun affects the earth and how we get energy from the sun. Later in the unit they will be learning about weather instruments, types of clouds, the water cycle, and how meteorologists predict the weather. This week students will be discovering the importance of the sun and how it affects the earth. 

Please follow-up with your students each week to make sure they have completed 30 minutes in Istation and 5 lessons in Dreambox.
