Writer's Workshop: We are working on our new writing unit using expository writing techniques to inform and explain.
Reader's Workshop: We will continue to work on our comprehension and fluency when reading.

Social Studies:
We will continue our unit on history and discovering how events from the past affect our present and future. We will talk about the connections between the past and present.

Math:

Learners will practice adding a multiple of 10 with a 1 digit number. We will practice skip counting by 2's, 5's and 10's to 120. We will continue to decompose and compose numbers to 120 in more than one way.
