READING
Next week we will be reading a fictional story about a boy named Henry who goes camping with his parents and his dog Mudge. Each one of them enjoys camping, but not for the same reasons.
We will be working on the comprehension strategies compare and contrast.
Our vocabulary words are backpack, campfire, hike, lanterns, camping and tent.
In phonics we will be focusing on the long vowel sounds of a, o and u., and the sounds for g.
In grammar we will be reviewing telling sentences and asking questions.
MATH
In math we have been working on number concepts and patterns. Next week we will be finishing our chapter on number patterns. Our chapter test will be on Monday. Our next chapter will be on 2-digit addition. Please remember to practice flash cards daily. This will help when we are learning 2-digit addition and subraction.
Fire Safety Assembly
Lt. Tabisz and Firefighter Jamie Tunk came to our school on Wednesday and talked about fire safety. We learned about choosing a special meeting place in case of a fire, how to “stop, drop and roll”, and that we should never go back inside to get something we forgot. They also showed us the special gear that firemen wear for protection.
