READING: This short 4 day week will be over before we know it. This week we are reading a story, "Click, Clack, Moo" we are focusing on drawing conclusions and making predictions. Also we will be working on prefixes (pre- & mis-) and also on base words ending in -s or -es. We will NOT be doing a spelling test this week.
WRITING:
We will are working on writing friendly letters. Proofreading and making sure we have all parts of a letter. We are starting to be creative in our SQUIGGLE stories each week. This is where the students receive a squiggle mark, then have to draw something using the squiggle and then write about it! We are creating some awesome writing in our journals and we are exciting to do so many writing projects! We continue to work on writing Weekend Reports every Monday. We are focusing on writing a complete sentence with a capital letter, a complete thought, and an end mark. We are also learning to use graphic organizers to help with our pre-writes. With every sentence we write, we try to think of one good detail sentence to add to our stories. Phonics: we will be working on ea and ee words.

MATH:
We have concluded our unit on measurement and started the next unit on story problems. The students will be able to analyze, answer and explain the story problem. Most problems will be adding 4, 2 digit numbers (ie. 12+23+34+12=). The measurement of time and money will be included in indpenedent work time as well as Sumdog or Scootpad to ensure the students maintain their growth. We will still continue working on adding coins and identifying them and their amounts. Addition and Subtraction skills will be worked on daily. We are working on problem solving. We are also counting to 1000, skip counting, working on graphs, and looking for patterns.
