We are learning about the Elements of Fiction and how character feelings change throughout the story.

*If your student is describing a sequence of events to you about their day, encourage them to use sequence words!
Social Studies
We will learn the history of Gilmer and the three types of communities: urban, suburban, and rural.
We are continuing to learn about place value (the value of a number), now up to the hundred thousands place. We will continue to compare and order them and will continue practicing how to write a number in four forms: standard (just numbers with commas), written (words), pictorial/model, and expanded notation (598 = 500 + 90 + 8). Next week we begin rounding!

*Have your child say three - five digit numbers out loud and how that number compares to other numbers (greater than, less than, equal to, between). These two skills are the hardest and any extra help with be beneficial!
Science
We are continuing to learn how to identify and describe the three different types of matter (solids, liquids, and gases) and how to describe them based from our five senses.
*Parents can play "What's the Matter" game with their kids and quiz them with items around the house or outside when you are driving down the street. Tell them an item and have them classify it as a solid, liquid, or gas and discuss how their particles would look under a microscope (wildly flying = gas, somewhat wiggly = liquid, tightly packed = solid).
