      Reading

     We are kicking off our first reading theme entitled Oink, Oink, Oink! We are reading versions of "The Three Little Pigs" that have been fractured to make them funny. We are going to compare and contrast these stories.

     Extra Credit for Reading: Design a safe house for the three little pigs. You may be as creative as you would like with the materials. It can be handed in at any time during this theme. Have fun!

Math

     In Math we are reviewing numbers~ number sequences, the number grid, equivalent names, and the many tools we will be using this year in class. We are playing many games to help us practice our addition and subtraction facts. Name that Number and Addition Top-It can be played at home with a deck of cards.

We will discover...
~ways parts of a plant help it survive
