READING
Next week we will be studying the genre poetry. We will be reading several poems to discuss the comprehension strategy of understanding poetry. Phonics lessons will emphasize the short vowels with the VCCV pattern. Our vocabulary words will be describe, imagine, rhyme, rhythm and stanza. Our grammar lessons will focus on run on sentences. We will be writing a poem on our own this week.
MATH
We have started a new chapter on place value. We will be counting, reading and writing numbers up to 100. We will identify the place value of each digit (ones, tens, hundreds). We will be comparing numbers. Remember to keep practicing the addition and subtraction flash cards at home.
Social Studies/Science
We will be finishing our unit on communities. We will have a unit test next week.
Anna is the Student of the Week! She likes being a green belt in karate, she was born in Russia and likes to ice skate and swim. Her favorite animal is a dog and her favorite color is blue. When Anna grows up she wants to be a Veterinarian.
