Reading

This week we'll be reading Tarra & Bella:  The Elephant and Dog Who Became Best Friends.  We'll compare and contrast two books with the same theme ~ friendship.  We'll work on sequencing details in a story and we'll continue to discuss main idea and details.

Our grammar lessons will focus on verbs.    

Math

We'll begin a new chapter this week, Adding Two Digit Numbers.  We'll begin by using models to add a one digit number to a two digit number.  We'll decide if regrouping is necessary.  

New fast facts are:       6 + 2       6 + 3       6 + 4       6 + 5       
                                  6 + 6       6 + 7       6 + 8       6 + 9


Science

A study guide will come home on Friday, Nov. 14.  Students should go over highlighted words.  A test over Exploring Earth's Surface will be at the beginning of next week. 

We'll be doing an investigation using an empty can.  Please send in a washed out, empty can ~ no sharp edges please.  We'll need the can at the end of the week.  

Have a great fall weekend!
