Math
Science
Throughout the first
marking period,
collaboration and analysis
will be integrated
throughout all subject
areas.
The students will begin
September by adding and
subtracting within 1000
(composing/ decomposing a
ten and a hundred) and
explain relationships among
strategies and algorithms.
Throughout September, we
will observe and describe
changes in an object’s
motion, explain how tools,
materials, and skills are used
to make things and carry out
tasks, and
suggest possible causes for
changes in the motion of
objects as they move across
different textured surfaces.
