READING
            Next week we will be working on a theme review this week.  We will read two stories about Families.  One story is called A Curve in the River which is a realistic fiction.  It is about a little boy who sends a message in a bottle.  The second story called   Slippery Siblings which is a non-fiction story.  We will compare and contrast the stories.  We will review contractions, word families, and homophones.
 

           
                   MATH
                                   
            We are continuing to work on writing larger numbers and knowing the value of them.  We will have our chapter test on Thursday.  Our next chapter will be on comparing and ordering greater numbers.


Science
            We are learning about the food groups and the food pyramid from Little D and the Royal Food Family.  We have been talking about the right kinds of snacks to eat. 


Field Trip
          We had a great time going to the DuPage Children’s Museum.  Thank you to our chaperones Mrs. Daly, Mrs. Downes and Mr. Moy for helping us to explore the museum and creating our geo-boxes.  We had a great time!
