May 1-5

Reading and writing:
This week we're writing the final copies of our research papers. We are also going to begin the project portion, where we take what we learned about our animal and display it in some way. Students will bring materials from home to create a visual display of their animal.

Math:
We are learning about 4 digit place value. We will look at how many hundreds make up a thousand and we will also review all of the different number forms from the beginning of the year. We will write 4 digit numbers in expanded form, word form, standard form, and block form. We will also play a few games and complete a 4 digit I-spy activity.

Science:
This week we are going over characteristics of different animal families. We will look at reptiles, amphibians, insects, mammals, and birds. We will look at life cycles, distinguishing features, movement, and habitat.
