Math:   Students will review and test their mastery over concepts from Chapter 4, addition within 20. In Chapter 5, students will review adding and subtracting numbers within 10 to ready them for learning strategies to add and subtract numbers through 20. Students will write addition and subtraction stories and the corresponding equations and discuss strategies they can use to solve the problems.

Grammer/ Writing: This week students will be re-telling “Tear Water Tea.” They will also continue working on subjects and predicates, writing sentences

Literature: Aesop’s Fables: is a collection of stories by an ancient Greek storyteller and slave named Aesop that teach moral lessons. Students will learn the moral (lesson) from each fable and be able to retell the fable. We will be reading: The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, The Boy who Cried Wolf, The Goose and the Golden Egg, The Fox and the Grapes, The Milkmaid and Her Pail, and The Dog in the Manger.

Rope Rhyme by Eloise Greenfield is a clever poem that teaches the students about jumping rope.  The poem uses language to understand a simple child’s game.  Use the poem’s words to ‘see and hear’ the clues of what is happening in the poem: jumping rope, playing counting games, how many people are using the rope.

History& Science: This week during History we will be discussing the culture & society of Mesopotamia. In Science we will be learning about animals & the importance of their body parts.
