    READING/LANGUAGE ARTS
    In Language Arts, we read the story
    Scarcity. When something is scarce, it
    means there is not enough of that
    resource for everyone to have. Prices
    usually go higher when items are scarce
    such as a popular toy. Students worked on
    facts and details for their comprehension
    skill and distinguished elements of a nonfiction text. In Grammar, they learned
    about singular and plural nouns. After
    doing a few interactive note-booking
    activities to practice the rules of how to
    pluralize nouns, they did a sorting project
    and we played a whole group game as
    well.
    They finished up their writing piece from
    last week and made the craft for the
    assignment titled, I Am Thankful.

    SOCIAL STUDIES

    Students read lessons 4 and 5 this week,


    distinguishing the three branches of the state
    and country government. The state government
    has a governor, legislature, and courts. The
    country government has the President,
    Congress, and Supreme Court. We took notes
    in our interactive notebooks and started
    working on a three branches of government
    project, which we will finish up next week.

    MATH
    Students are continuing to learn multiple
    strategies to do double-digit addition. Toward the
    end of the week, they learned the traditional
    regrouping method. Knowing so many strategies
    helps students figure out problems mentally.
    They played an Around the Room, game where
    various double-digit problems were taped around
    the room, and they took their recording sheet,
    found the hidden problems, and solved the
    problems. We did lessons 4.3-4.6 this week, and
    started 4.7 as well.

    SCIENCE

    Students read about a plants life cycle and


    answered comprehension questions. They
    sorted the differences between a plants needs
    and wants. They learned about a pumpkins life
    cycle and created a life cycle sequence project.
    Although the study guide for chapter 3 went
    home just this week, we have been learning
    this chapter since the beginning of last week.
    Students are almost done with the chapter and
    we will have a chapter 3 test next Thursday.
