Math:
This week for an accountable talk, the students will think about what strategy they would use to solve a math problem (doubles, near doubles, or make ten). The students will discuss how they solved the problem and share different strategies. They will use the sentence stem, "I know _________, so I know _____________. For instance, one student might use the near double strategy and say, "I know 6+6=12, so I know 6+7=13 because 7 is one more than 6 (or they could say 13 is one more than 12).

The students will also learn how to generate addition and subtraction word problems. The teacher will show the students a themed picture (a beach, a garden, etc.). The teacher will model thinking aloud to show the students how to create an addition word problem. For instance, the teacher might say, when I look at this picture I notice that there are several flowers in the garden. I will write a story problem about picking flowers in my garden at home.
The teacher will model writing an addition story problem about a garden. For instance, Amy picked 13 flowers from her garden. Later, she picked 5 more flowers. How many flowers did Amy pick in all?
The teacher will show the students step by step how to create and solve the story problem. See picture below. The next day, the students will practice creating and generating their own addition story problems. Students will trade story problems with a partner to solve.
The students will also practice creating and generating subtraction problems as well.

Science:
This week in Science, we will be covering the following objectives
- Parents and young usually resemble one another in a variety of ways (eye color, hair color, etc.).
- Sometimes young animals do not resemble their parents in a variety of ways (size, color, etc.).
- When young animals are different from their parents, we can describe these differences as part of a life cycle.
