Writing Process

·       Continue to apply components of the Writing Process in Writing Workshop Mini Lessons

Content

·       Uses a variety of resources

·       Includes relevant information (staying on topic)

·       Uses organizational patterns (chronological order, similarities and differences, answering questions)

·       Begins to create graphic features (charts, tables, graphs, diagrams)

·       Writes text of appropriate length

·       Uses increasingly complex sentence structure

·       Uses specialized words appropriately to extend writing vocabulary (dictionary, thesaurus)

·       Uses transition words

Conventions

·       Review and reinforce all elements  previously taught

MATH

2-Digit Subtraction

·     Understand subtraction is the opposite of addition

·     Subtract 2-digit numbers with and without regrouping

·     Use strategies such as addition to solve subtraction problems e.g. 98 + 17 by taking two from 17
       and adding it to the 98 to make 100 and replacing the problem by the sum 100 + 15

·     Use boxes, letters, or ___  to represent a missing value

·     Use symbols ( =, ≠, >, < ) to show relationships in mathematical expressions

·     Estimate to determine whether the solution is reasonable for subtraction

Money

·     Count collections of coins and currency

·     Use decimal notation when writing money

·     Use the symbols for dollars ($) and cents (¢)

·     Use money as a medium of exchange.

Data

·     Organize and display data using picture graphs and simple charts or tables to record results

·     Know how to interpret picture graphs, bar graphs and Venn diagrams

Telling Time

·     Tell time to the nearest five minutes

·     Know relationships of times such as minutes in an hour, hours in a day

Plane Figures – triangle, square, rectangle, trapezoid, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon

·     Describe and classify plane figures according to the number of edges, vertices, and the size of
       angles

·     Describe attribute changes as 2- and 3-D shapes are cut and rearranged

Solid Figures – prisms, cylinders, cones, and spheres

·     Describe and classify solid geometric figures according to the number of edges and vertices, the
       number and shape of face and angles

·     Recognize the plane shapes of the faces of a geometric solid, count the number of faces of each type

·     Recognize shapes of angles as right, obtuse, or acute

·     Describe attribute changes as 2- and 3-D shapes are cut and rearranged

Light Energy

·       Identify sources of light (sun, stars, candles, lightening bugs, etc…)

·       Describe how light energy is used

·       Compare/contrast various sources of light energy found around the school to other forms of energy

·       Describe how light energy can be transferred

Heat Energy

·       Identify sources of heat (sun, fire, chemical reactions, friction, etc…)

·       Describe how heat energy is used

·       Compare/contrast various sources of heat energy found around the school to other forms of energy

·       Understand that light from the sun heats the Earth

Energy of Motion

·       Identify sources of energy of motion (walking, wind, water, etc…)

·       Describe how energy of motion is used

·       Compare/contrast various sources of energy of motion found around the school to other forms of
         energy

·       Understand that any motion results in heat

Pushing and Pulling

·       Investigate and define a force. 

·       Demonstrate by experiment how pushing and pulling an object affects the motion of the object. 

·       Summarize and describe the affects of pushing and pulling an object.

Speed

·       Recognize that weight effects the force needed to move an object. 

·       Demonstrate by experiment the effects of speed on an object. 

·       Describe the effects of changes of speed on an object.
