• During Writer's Workshop we are working on our "How to" writing.  We will be concentrating on putting actions in sequential order when writing.  
• During Reader's Workshop we will continue to use our reading strategies to increase fluency when reading.
• During Grammar Talks we will talk about past tense verbs and how to show that something has already happened. 

Social Studies:
Since this  week we concentrated on Christopher Columbus, next week we will now begin  our study of our NATIONAL SYMBOLS.  We will talk about the Statue of Liberty, the Alamo, the Liberty Bell, and the American Flag.

Math:

Learners will continue to apply strategies to solve addition problems as well as determining a number that is 10 less and 10 more than a number.   Learners will also practice skip counting by 5s and 10s to 120.
