READING
          Next week we will be reading the story
Poppleton and Friends by Cynthia Rylant.  This story is about how Poppleton has dry skin and his friend Cherry Sue tries to help him get rid of it.    We will be working on the comprehension skill of making inferences while visualizing to make sense of the text and reading independently.
                               MATH
                       In math we will finish our chapter on number concepts and patterns. Our test will be next week.  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 subtraction.

  Fire Safety Field Trip
Firefighter Jamie Tunk talked about fire safety.  We had a tour of the firehouse, saw the inside of an ambulance, the equipment on fire engines, we squirted the firehose and we watched our teacher put out a fire.  He also showed us the special gear that firemen wear for protection.  It was a great trip!
