This week:
READING
We have been learning about the features of Nonfiction/Expository texts and this week in the spirit of the month of October and Halloween, we will be focusing on bat books! We will be asking questions about bats, think about information that we already know, and find new information or hopefully, the answers to our questions in non-fiction texts. The kids love this unit! We will become experts on bats by the end of the week, and your child should be able to tell you some very interesting facts about bats.
WRITING
This week we will shift our writing from small moments/personal narratives and learn to write other ways: we will learn to write like scientists. Scientists have very attentive lives, noticing interesting things, and recording what they see. We will draw and sketch, but this time emphasize on the importance of capturing details with precision. As we read and learn facts about bats, we will record and write these facts so we can teach others about these amazing night flyers.

This week we will introduce place value. We will use number tracks and make numbers using our 10 sticks (10 blocks) and ones. We will emphasize that the place of a digit in a number matters. Depending on where the digit is, in tens place or in ones place, the digit has a different value (example: compare 17 and 71). So far, we have worked with teen numbers. This week we will work with 2 digit numbers greater than teens. When studying 24, we will see that 2 is 2 sets/groups of 10 which makes twenty and the 4 is just four ones. When comparing the numbers, we will think about both tens and ones in a number. 24 is greater than 22. The number of 10 sticks are the same but the ones are not. 24 has 4 ones and 22 has only 2 ones. We will emphasize the vocabulary such as greater than, less than, before and after.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We have been learning about some very important historical figures and inventors such as Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison. We learned about their contributions and how they changed our lives with their inventions. We also learned about John Venn and used his method of comparison (Venn diagram) and compared the two inventors together and learned about the similarities and differences. This week, we will learn about Garrett Morgan and Richard Allen who also influenced our nation by their individualism and inventiveness. We are going to study an extra individual that is close to our hearts, Steve Jobs! We are going to think about his creativity and how he changed the way we learn in our classroom!
