Week 5

Sept 22-24

Reading:

This week we will be reading contemporary folktales. we will be comparing two folktales character, setting, and plot.

Make sure your child understands the reason a sentences has a ? . ! Punctuation marks at the end of a sentence help determine what the author is trying to say and what kind of a voice the reader should use when reading.

Math:

Continue practicing place value and comparing numbers to 1200. A lot of students are struggling with the understanding of number values (meaning how many objects 570 is compared to 750). I will often ask if it (the number) was _?_ which would your want?

This week we will be working with money (coins to one dollar).  The students will need to identify coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half-dollar) their value, and count mixed coins. We use a process called Hairy Money to help remember the value. My best suggestion is give you child a few coins and have them count them regularly.

Spelling Words:

Test will be on the last day of the week.
