Here is what we will be doing this week:
READING
This week we will learn about fiction and the elements of fiction. We will learn about the setting; the place and time where the story takes place, the main characters;the important people or animals that do or say important things in the stories, and the plot which is a series of important events in the stories. We will learn that just like the stories we write, fictions have also a beginning, middle and ending. We will also discuss the author's purpose in writing fictions.

WRITING
We will continue writing stories about our lives. This week we will learn how we can "zoom in" and write about a small moment in time with details. Our job from here on is to discover those small moments in our lives. A small moment happens over a few short seconds or minutes. For example, it could be about a moment that I was riding my bike and I fell into a mud puddle and hurt my knee, or about a time that we were in the car, coming back home and we had to stop the car in the middle of the street, because a deer was standing there and wouldn't move. We will learn how we can expand our small moment with details and write it over a few lines. We will also use our fingers and tell our small moments across our hand so we can record the beginning, the middle and the end of our small moments.
MATH
So far, we have been working on place value. The children have learned that the place of a digit in a number matters and depending on its place a digit can represent tens, or ones. This week we will learn about decomposing numbers and describing the numbers in expanded form. For example, 34 is actually 30 and 4 and 52 is 50 and 2. We will also compare numbers using number line and review the vocabulary, greater and less than. for example, looking at a number line, what number is one less than 17? or 16 is one less than what number? We will apply our knowledge of number line and number comparison to solve everyday math problem.
