Reading-We will begin the year with working on summarizing a text and picking out the most important events. We will also be working on picking "good fit" books from the classroom library to keep in our book bins. Kids are welcome to bring in books from home to keep in school as their independent reading.
Writing- To start the year, we review proper paragraph writing and begin working in our free writing journals.
Math- We will begin math by exploring place value. Social Studies- Maps will be our first unit in Social Studies. We focus mainly on New York State and identifying important landforms but will also review the world map. We will be creating a salt dough map of New York State and will be looking for some supplies donations. Look for a letter coming home soon!
