Reading - Our focus this week will be Poetry.  We will be reading lots of poetry and learning how words and phrases supply rhythm and meaning in a poem.

Vocabulary words will include: rhyme, rhythm, regular beats, repetition, figurative language, and alliteration.

Grammar focus will be on past tense of irregular verbs.

Math - We will solve problems with equal groups by modeling with counters, use repeated addition to match an array, and finish the week with a chapter test.  We'll also be doing our 5 minute timed test for October.
