Week of Sept. 17th

As we continue our exploration unit, we will be reading Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night.  Consonant blends, characters, and setting will be our focus.  In Language Arts we will be working on predicates of sentences.  We will be finishing up on addition strategies and starting subtraction strategies in Math.  Science will consist of learning about invertebrates focusing on insects.  I am excited to do an art project learning about the famous artist Peter Max.  I am hoping to post some of our students art work.  So keep watching!
Monday night is our K-2 Literacy night.  I hope to see you there!
