THIS WEEK:
It definitely feels like winter today! J  This week, we are studying winter in class.  We will be reading many books about winter weather, snowmen, and penguins.  We will compare stories, draw conclusions and write.  Our high-frequency words this week are:  car, far, ride, around, back, away, town, and took.  We will also work on compound words, adjectives, and review nouns.

In Math, we are working on fact families.  We will have a math fact tests Friday – adding 8.  In Social Studies and Science, we will be doing some activities with winter, but also studying Martin Luther King, Jr.
