We are learning...

Welcome! There are 2 places that you can find out what your child is learning. You’ve found the first place right here!  Second place is in the CScope Parent Portal where you will get an overview of each six weeks in each subject.  The CScope link is right here on my blog!

9/12-9/16
Math- We will apply estimation strategies such as rounding and compatible numbers to facilitate the operations of addition and subtraction using number lines, graphics and journals.
Science-We will investigate properties of matter including volume using experiments, foldables and science notebooks. 
S.S.-We will describe the characteristics of a good citizen using journals and self portrait posters.

9/19-9/23
Math- We will apply estimation strategies such as rounding to facilitate the operations of addition and subtraction using number lines and journals.
Science-We will investigate properties of matter using created and separated mixtures.
S.S.-We will continue to describe the characteristics of a good citizen using journals and self portrait posters.

10/10-10/14
Math- We will describe addition and subtraction problems using diagrams, number lines, and hundreds boards.
Science- We will predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by heating or cooling using lab activities and notebooks.
S.S.- We will identify peole who have influenced the expansion or creation of communities using journals.

10/17-10/21
Math- We will describe solutions to real life addition and subtraction problems using estimation and graphic organizers.
Science- We will investigate weather and compare weather data using tools and notebooks.
S.S.- We will describe the physical characteristics of Odem using a graphic organizer.

10/24-10/28
Math- We will describe multiples in connection with multiplication using number lines.
Science- We will investigate different forms of energy-heat, sound, light, and mechanical using lab activities, an organizer, and notebooks.
S.S.- We will describe the physical characteristics of place discussing a fictional character-Robinson Crusoe using an illustration. 

10/31-11/4
Math- We will describe the connection between multiplication and division using counters, journals, and recording sheets.
Science- We will investigate different forms of energy-heat, sound, light, and mechanical using lab activities, an organizer, and notebooks.
S.S.- We will describe the human characteristics of Odem using a class chart and journals.

11/7-11/11
Math- We will determine patterns with multiplication/division facts using counters, base-ten blocks, T-chart, and recording sheets.
Science- We will investigate force and motion using lab activities and notebooks.
S.S.- We will describe the deeds of an American legend- Daniel Boone and his contribution to communities using journals.

11/14-11/18
Math- We will interpret word problems and the operations needed to solve them using tables and operation posters.
Science-We will investigate work and magnetism as it relates to force using a KLEW chart, lab activities, and notebooks.
S.S.- We will examine holidays and celebrations including Texas cultural celebrations using an organizer.

11/28-12/2
Math- We will interpret word problems and the operations needed to solve them using tables and operation posters.
Science- We will identify and compare a variety of landforms and explore some ways that landforms can change using pictures and notebooks.
S.S.-We will examine the works of authors/artists who contribute to the cultural heritage of communities using a diorama.

1/30-2/3
Math- We will investigate linear measurement, perimeter, and area using standard units of measure. We will relate time to the minute on analog/digital clocks using student clocks, recording sheets.
Science- We will investigate the relative size and position of the planets including interactions and relationship of the sun, Earth, and moon using constructed models.
Social Studies- We will examine the heroic deeds of individuals who have impacted communities using a timeline.

2/6-2/10
Math-We will relate time to the minute on analog/digital clocks using student clocks and recording sheets.
We will record temperatures in Fahrenheit using real world situations.
Science- We will investigate the relative size and position of the planets including interactions and relationship of the sun, Earth, and moon using constructed models.
Social Studies- We will research the heroic deeds of individuals who have impacted communities using a cereal box research. We will investigate the effect of human processes on communities using flip books and journals. 

2/13-2/17
Math-We will examine 2-dimensional figures to find figures that are congruent and may have lines of symmetry using a geometric figures booklet. We will identify and extend geometric patterns using pattern blocks.
Science-We will investigate the relative size and position of the planets including interactions and relationship of the S/E/M using constructed models.
Social Studies- We will investigate the effect of human and physical processes on communities using flip books and journals. We will continue to listen to hero presentations.
