READING                                             
            Our next story will be Jamaica Louise James.  It is about a girl who loves to draw and paint.  To surprise her grandmother on her birthday, she hangs up her artwork at the subway station where her grandmother works. 
            In phonics we will be focusing on the vowel pairs ee, ea and the endings -tion and -ture.
            Vocabulary words are booth, station, token, plaque, subway and mayor.
            Comprehension strategies are evaluating and making inferences. 
                        In grammar we will be working on nouns that change the spelling in the plural.
           
           
                   MATH
                                   
            We are counting with half-dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.  Next week our new chapter will be a continuation of counting coins.
