READING

     Next week we will be reading the story Chester’s Way by Kevin Henkes.  In this story, Chester and Wilson are best friends and they share the same way of doing things, until one day Lilly moves into the neighborhood.  We will be using inferences to understand the character’s feelings, motivations and actions.  We will be exploring the text structure in narrative texts to determine the characters and the plot of the story.



                           MATH

                                    In math we started two-digit addition.  We will be using the math vocabulary regrouping.    Please remember to practice flash cards daily.

Science
          We will be finishing our chapter on motion.  We will have our Science test on Friday.  Look for a study guide to come home on Thursday.

Recess
          We go outside for recess unless the wind chill is below 20 degrees.  The children will need to bring snow pants and boots in order to play in the snow.  Any child who needs to stay inside for recess will need a doctor's note.

Student  of the Week
Morgan is the Student of the Week!  He likes to do karate, play minecraft and play with his friends.  His favorite animal is a cat and his favorite color is blue.   When Morgan grows up he wants to be a Call of the Wild Man.
