October 24th-28th

I hope that everyone had a great week despite the chilly and rainy weather we had!

We had a great end to our week watching Diary of a Wimpy Kid to follow up on our read aloud. I will be posting pictures of the performance this weekend.

Our target reading strategy of the week will be Finding the Main Idea. We will be using several stories (both fiction and nonfiction) to develop this and the students will have homework each night, as well, to further practice locating the main idea in stories.

In math, we are continuing to work on addition and subtraction word problems, focusing on locating the "key" words that tell us the correct operation to use.

In Social Studies, we will be finishing up our Illinois unit and beginning our independent state projects.

Have a great weekend!!!
