Reading

          In reading, we will be doing a “Close Reading” of an article.  We will be doing three reads and focus on the main idea, the author’s purpose and being able to connect the article to another text. 

                          MATH

                  

          In math we started our topic on subtraction strategies.  Next week we will be working on using addition to subtract in order to solve problems.  We also took our addition and subtraction timed tests for the month of September.  The children are improving!  Keep working on addition and subtraction flashcards.

Fire Safety Assembly

Firefighter Tony came to our school on Thursday and talked about fire safety.  We learned about choosing a special meeting place in case of a fire, how to “stop, drop and roll”, and that we should never go back inside to get something we forgot.  He also showed us the special gear that firemen wear for protection.
