READING
This week we will explore a new genre in fiction: The Folk Tales. We will learn about the elements of Folk Tales. Folk Tales have animals with human characteristics as the main characters, and there is usually a lesson to be learned at the end of the story.While we read some of the most beloved children's stories such as the Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and The Little Red Hen, we will work on many comprehension strategies such as retelling the story (telling the events in logical order), and summarizing the story which is telling the important events in the story from the beginning to the end. When we summarize we tell the important events in a short paragraph. We will also review main characters, setting and the problem and solution in the story.

MATH
This week we will continue working on subtraction. Last week, we practiced on many math problems that involved "taking away, separating from a set, taking a part away from a whole". This week, we will focus on subtraction as a way to find the difference between two quantities, or a way of comparing two different quantities. If team A scored 12 goals and team B scored 9 goals, how many more goals did team A score than team B? At the beginning of the year, the children learned to solve these kinds of problem by thinking addition: 9+ ?=12. Now, they are learning that they can actually use subtraction to solve these kinds of problem: 12-9=3.

SOCIAL STUDIES
We are learning so much as our Elf, Frisbee, travels around the world. He's been to NYC, Mexico and Brazil!! Next up we are sending him to European countries!! We will travel around the world and learn about customs, holidays, and celebrations. We will learn about the importance of various beliefs, customs, language, and traditions of communities and how communities celebrate their heritage.
