February 17-20, 2015

HOMEWORK FOR THIS WEEK
Since this week is a short week, I will not be sending homework home.
 However, please encourage your child to read books from RAZ-kids and practice math concepts on IXL.  I sent an email with the links for both sites but I will see about putting them on the blog as well.
Here are the links you will need:

READING and WRITING
This week we will be using our research skills and learn about two important presidents,
 George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  We will ask open-ended questions and develop a plan for answering these questions.  Our plan includes exploring a variety of sources such as books, digital books, Pebble Go, and Brain pop Jr, recording the information we gather, and organizing our ideas and information in our writings.   
MATH
We will continue working on place value.
 We will work on number lines or number track and locate and place numbers on a number line based on their value.  We will use the place value to compare whole numbers up to 99 using comparative language such is bigger than or less than. We will use symbols such as >, < or = to compare the numbers to 99. We will work on problem solving involving ordering the numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least.

SOCIAL STUDIES
This week we will learn about a few historical figures such as Alexander graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Garrett Morgan, and Richards Allen who influenced our nation by their individualism and inventiveness. We will learn about their inventions and the contributions that these important people made to our lives.

HABIT #1:  Be Proactive:  I am a responsible person.  I am in charge of me.  I choose my actions, attitude, and mood.
