Reading: This week we began working with the ending sounds of er and ed. We practiced reading and writing rhyming words. We are also working on writing sentences correctly. We finished writing in the October journals.
Math: We are writing and reading addition and subtraction sentences. We practiced solving word problems. We started the next chapter about addition. Our first strategy to solve problems uses the skill of counting on to find the answers.

Science: We are reading about animals in our big book textbook. We will be using a set of posters to help us learn about the different groups of animals. The first animal group we are studying are mammals.
Monster Playhouse Stories: Last week we created monsters. Our fifth grade buddies helped us to write stories about the character. Some of the stories are funny and some are scary.
