Happy New Year!  There are some changes going on in the classroom as the new year begins. Students have new cubby space to make way for a large work area in the hall. This is very exciting and students will see this change when they come to school on Monday morning.
Math: We will begin to look at multi-digit subtraction, including word problems. Students will share strategies and words that cue them to use subtraction, or difference, strategies to solve the problem.
Language: We will look at criteria involved in retelling a story. Much like narrative writing, retelling a story must include a beginning, middle and end, as well as characters or people involved, a setting and must be told in the correct order.
Homework: Cursive writing will come home on paper this week.
