Reading
This week we will focus on retelling as we read 2 selections about ants.  Two Bad Ants is a fiction story about two ants who decide to leave the safety of their home and explore a kitchen.  Ant is a non fiction story about the life cycle, habitats, and different types of ants. We'll compare and contrast the two selections and work on the reading strategy of visualization.

Math - We will be working on 3 digit subtraction this week.  We will also be adding and subtracting money as well as working on problem solving skills.

Field Trip - The 2nd graders are taking a field trip on Wed.
