READING
                      Next week we will be two stories on friendship.  We will be comparing and contrasting the characters in the story.  We will continue to work on writing skills when writing stories.

MATH
                      We started topic 2 in math.  We will be learning addition strategies for adding near doubles, adding in any order and adding three numbers.  Remember to practice flashcards with your child.
