Language Arts- This past week we read "The Dream Catcher", "Yoon and the Jade Bracelet", which are realistic fiction stories, and "Family Traditions". Each story teaches about culture and tradition.  These stories focused on the essential question, What can traditions teach you about cultures?  We worked on locating text evidence, learned new vocabulary, talked about story sequencing and practiced visualizing a story. We also worked on types of sentences and short vowel sounds.  Our vocabulary word and skills page did not come back from the printer yet, so kids can use their google reading slides to look over this week's vocabulary. We will also have several opportunities to study during class time. 

In writing we worked on writing about a tradition that our family has. 

Math- This past week we worked on learning our math facts.  We talked about patterns that we found when multiplying by 0, 2, 5, 9, and 10's.  We continued to talk about the commutative property and introduced the identity property as well as the zero property.  Monday will be our review for this topic and we will be assessing over it on Tuesday.  I will send home the review we completed in class for the test on Monday. 

Social Studies- We are continuing to work on mapping of world.
