Reading - This week we will work on identifying the main purpose of a text, including what the author wants to answer, explain, or describe.  Students will continue to build stamina in their independent reading by reading to self, reading to someone, and visiting the listening center during Daily 5 rotations.

Writing - This week we will begin working on a narrative piece that describe actions, thoughts, and feelings.  Students are also working on using commas in a series, and to set off a speaker's words.  After that we will begin to work with contractions.

Math - This week we are working on skip counting to 1,000 by 100's, 10's and 5's.

Inquiry - This week students will begin exploring state government symbols.
