Students will be finishing work on mental subtraction and then will move to thinking about double digit addition with regrouping!

Reading

Books should be coming home about every night.  A good way to check for comprehension is to sit down and have a short “book talk” with your child about what they read.  One of our strategies is asking: Who was it about and What happened?

In writing, we just started working on identifying realistic fiction and we will start composing our own fiction-based stories.
