Our book for this week is Today I Am.  

READING:

This week we are learning about who characters are, what the setting is, and what the events are in the story.  As you are reading stories at home, talk about these aspects.  Talk about who is important in the story you are reading, where is it taking place, and what they are doing.

WRITING:

We are starting our new unit on Opinion Writing.  We will be studying what other authors do to write about about their opinions.  We will talk about what an opinion is and some possible ideas to write about.

MATH:

This week we are working on counting accurately by playing a Spin a Number game and a Number Cards Game.

We will put numbers in order by lining up with them.
