We will introduce the letter sounds /x/, /e/, /ed/, /d/, /t/ and /ea/. We will read “A Tall, Tall Wall”, “All On the Map”, and “Roads” in our hardback reader. Our reading strategy this week will focus on the beginning, middle, and end of a story (retelling). This month we will be focusing on making connections as our school wide reading strategy.
Our vocabulary words are commotion, locate, overflowing, search, muffle, and symbol. (The vocabulary words will not be tested individually.) In writing we will focus on writing using tools to help us spell. We will also focus on using capital letters and periods in our writing.

Math
(NBT1, OA1, OA3, OA4, OA1, OA5, OA6, OA7, and OA8)
Students will work on understanding the meaning of the equal sign and practice the commutative property. We will also solve both addition and subtraction word problems in our math journal .
Help us use the phrase, "is the same as" when referring to the equal sign. So you might say,
4+2 is the same as 6. ( 4+2=6)
We are using the term equals and the phrase "is the same as" interchangeably.
Science
We will continue with our plant module.
