Reading- For the next few weeks we will be enjoying the theme Around Town: Neighborhood and Community.

Math- We are beginning Topic 7. Help is always welcome from home by reviewing and practicing concepts taught daily in class. For added enrichment, follow the suggestions presented on the daily math pages that students bring home each day.

Writing Process- To help our class get to know each other, the students write and illustrate an All About Me story. We share our stories with the class and then make a class book. The book is added to our classroom collection of All About Me books written by my previous classes. All of the books are available to read at the student's leisure throughout the school year. We practiced the skill of story writing by following the writing process to write silly stories. Every story consisted of a beginning, middle, and end along with an illustration of the main character. Using our five senses, everyone wrote a describtive story about a nature walk we have taken.

Cursive Writing- We will begin cursive writing after our winter break.
