We will blend and read long u words; discuss author's purpose; identify singular and plural nouns; read words with inflectional ending -ed; and read, sort and write contraction words. In Saxon phonics we will review letter/sound knowledge, read and code words, read passages and answer comprehension questions.

In math we will add doubles and doubles plus one; and subtraction.

In Science we will discuss force and motion. We will explore how objects move using magnets, etc.

In Social Studies we will discuss how families of long ago met their basic needs and compare chores done in the past to chores done today. We will also read Thanksgiving stories and learn about customs long ago with Pilgrims and Indians.

WISH LIST...We are in need of playdough to make spelling words. Please send if you can.
