READING
                        Next week we will be reading three biographies.  We will learn what makes a good biography and trying writing a biography including a time line of the person's life. 
            In phonics we will be focusing on the r-controlled vowels and the final syllables -tion and -ture.. 
            Vocabulary words are biography, event, information, champion, fact and president.
            Comprehension strategies are rereading for understanding, evaluating, and visualizing.
                        In grammar we will be working on nouns and pronouns.

                               MATH
                                    In math we worked on telling time after the hour in 5 minute increments, telling time before the hour, make reasonable estimates and determine how much time has passed from start to finish.  We will be finishing our chapter on time and having a chapter test next week.
