Religion: This week we are working on the section

in our text reviewing the Christmas story. We are
also learning about the Holy Family.

Reminders

Reading: We are working with long and short

vowel sounds. We practiced adding endings ing
and ed. We practiced recalling details and putting
events in story order. We shared our favorite books
from home telling about the beginning, the middle
and the end of the story.
Math: We reviewed the addition strategy of
counting on and using a number line to solve
addition and subtraction problems. We also
practiced using addition to solve subtraction. For
example: if we want to solve 15-7, we can use the
addition sentence 7+ __ =15 to find the answer.

moon, the stars, and the planets.

skills. We reviewed using a map key and the four
directions to find things on a map.

We are celebrating!
Happy New Year!

Our Next Project

We will be using a series of books
by Daniel Kirk beginning next
week. The main character lives in
the neighborhood library. He
loves to read and tries to write his
own books. Using the story
events of the first book, we
will write and illustrate
our own storybooks.
