January 5th -8th
Happy New Year! I can hardly believe it is 2016! Wow, this year is flying by! I hope everyone rested and enjoyed family time together! We went to movies, out for dinner and celebrated with family!
It's going to be cold during our outside recess time so please send a warm coat with your child! Make sure it's labeled with their name!

READING
This week in reading we will continue reading Fairy Tales and Folktales. We will review the features of Fairy Tales and Folktales and discuss the characters, the problem and the solution, the plot of the story, and the beginning, middle and end of the story. We will also review how to retell (tell the events from the beginning to the end in our own words) and to summarize( tell the important events in one short paragraph). This week we've concluded that Fairy Tales have magic and royal characters and Folktales have animals acting like humans and teach a lesson.

WRITING
In writing, we will start writing expository texts. We will make a list of things that we are expert at and know a lot and choose from our list to write about a topic. Our main purpose is to teach and inform others. We made our lists and can't wait to get starting teaching someone about our passions through our writing!
MATH.
This week in math we will review place value in 2-digit numbers. We will work with tens and ones and compare 2-digit numbers. When comparing the two digit numbers, we will look at the digits in tens place first. If those are the same, then we will move to the digits in ones place. We will also work on math problem solving that involves representing, comparing, adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers.
SCIENCES
We will spiral review some of the science and social studies concepts in first semester such as weather and cultures and celebrations.
