We will also learn to write numbers in expanded form (342=300+40+2). We will work on writing the same number in standard, unit, and expanded form.
Social Studies: We will add new states to our United States map practice. Ask your child about these states: Texas, Florida, and Maine. Ask about the "pointy corners" of Chef Mimal's kitchen. We will also read our Scholastic News together. This week's issue is about Veteran's Day.
