Math
This week in Math, students worked with place value and practiced writing the three forms of numbers: standard, expanded, and word. We also worked in math partnerships to complete a few assignments. Students completed an ALEKS pre-assessment. ALEKS is a computer program that allows students to practice math skills based on each child's specific needs.

Writer's Workshop
Students generated ideas in their Writer's Notebooks by creating a heart map, personal map, and memory chain. They will use these ideas for future writing pieces.
Science & Social Studies
Students worked as scientists with Mrs. Branding and began the investigation and inquiry process. In Social Studies, we learned about geography, the study of the world, as well as the five themes of geography: location, place, region, movement, and human interaction.
