Math
This week, we will continue to work on adding and subtracting ten more/less and using 10 to help solve +9 and +8 facts.  Students will also be adding and subtracting with doubles facts. A doubles memory game will be coming home with your child for additional practice.

Writing
Students have begun to create small moment stories. We are studying Jane Yolen’s craft in Owl Moon.  Students will be focusing on writing with detail, attending to punctuation, and creating powerful endings.

Reading
Students have been working hard to pick books that interest them and are at a just right level, this is helping students to build their stamina.  As a class we have a reading stamina goal of 30 minutes!  This week, as we continue to build our reading stamina, we are going to learn to keep tabs on our comprehension as well.  

Enjoy some photos from the week!
