READING

          Next week we will be reading the story What Mary Jo Shared written by Janice May Udry.  In this story, Mary Jo uses an original idea to solve the problem of what to share with her class.  We will be using inferences to understand the character’s feelings, motivations and actions.  We will be exploring the text structure in narrative texts to determine the characters and the plot of the story.

                          MATH

                  
          In math we are working on the number patterns that  focus on odd/even numbers, greater than, less than and equal to when comparing numbers (<,>,=) and number patterns on a 100's chart
Please remember to practice flash cards daily.
