Math

This week we have been working on ordering numbers from least to greatest, or greatest to least. We have also been learning about comparing numbers using a symbol. Tomorrow and Friday we will explore rounding numbers to the nearest 10. 

Social Studies

The Family Heart Map is due on Tuesday, October 15th. Here is a copy of the note that was sent home. 

Writing

Today we started an exciting new writing project! We will be writing our own Small Moment stories (personal narratives). Today we learned about what a small moment story is, and spent some time brainstorming. Students may benefit from discussing possible small moment stories at home. 

At the bottom of this chart you will see a watermelon with "Trip to Mexico" inside. We talked about how an entire trip is not a small moment story. You could write a whole chapter book about a trip! Instead a small moment story could be something special that happened during the trip, like trying hot sauce for the first time! Trying hot sauce for the first time is a "tiny seed idea". Our small moment stories come from "seed ideas".
