Wow last week was a short week but a busy one.

Last week in math our focus was to continue renaming 3-digit numbers.It has taken a lot of work with manipulatives and working with a partner but I believe we have it!!

Along with renaming we continued work with writing numbers in standard form, word form, and expanded form.  It got a little tricky when the place value was out of order, for example--What number is 6 tens 3 ones 4 hundreds? What number is 5 + 300 + 40?  But after only a couple of times students realized that they have to read the problem carefully, making sure the place value is in the correct order.

Homework This week
Monday--IXL M.4 Value of the Underlined Digit--tens and ones
Tuesday--IXL B.2 Comparing Numbers Up to 1,000.
Wednesday--IXL M.5 Value of underlined digit up to 100’s.
Thursday--Worksheet

In Language this week we have been working on Nouns, nouns, and more nouns...we are still learning about singular and plural nouns.  This week we studied nouns that are irregular in the plural form.  Our focus was on nouns that ended with y, f, and nouns that you have to change the spelling of the singular form to make the plural form.  Here are some examples...
Singular                       Plural
penny                            pennies
scarf                              scarves
child                              children 


We finished our second big writing project about ourselves.  This week we will be drawing portraits to go along with these wonderful writing projects.  We also will be finishing up our first PROJECT. We will be presenting these projects to the Kindergarten class soon.  

Hope your week is great!!
