Reading
We have really been working on a variety of comprehension strategies in our classroom.  We are working on Metacognition, Schema, making a picture in your mind, determining importance, questioning, and inferring.  All of these take a lot of time and require your child to think about what they are reading in their book club books.  Please ask them to tell you what each of these mean!



Math
We started our new math chapter on numbers to 100 this week.  It has been a lot of fun to work with larger numbers and see how far we can count and write.  Everyone has worked very hard on all of their math.  Please keep working on writing and counting to 100!



Science/SS/Health
In Science we are continuing to work on their wood unit but have moved to the paper side of it.  The kids love testing out the different papers!  In SS we have been discussing map keys and how to use them.  We also spent a little bit of our time discussing how to help others.
