Reading - This week we will continue to work on identifying the key ideas and details of non-fiction text. We will work on making text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world connections along with asking relevant questions to show deeper understanding.

Writing - Students have been working hard on finishing their personal experience stories.  Our next writing activity will focus on opinion.  We are also working on using apostophes to show ownership.

Math - This week we practiced subtracting single digit numbers and began working on subtracting double digit numbers without regrouping.  Students work daily on a number of the day, problem solving, and activities that support the Common Core State Standards

Inquiry - Students will finish their State Government posters.  We will begin our next inquiry on Federal Government by completing an Activation Guide.
We will also begin working on a mini-study of Holidays in other Lands.

Health alert...until the new year only wrapped store boughten treats will be allowed for birthdays and holiday parties. Thank you for your understanding!
