Reading

Our story this week is Tornado found on pages 187 – 203.  It is a realistic fiction

story from the novel by Betsy Byers.  We will focus on characters, setting,

problem, story events, and the mood of the story.

Grammar / Writing

      In Grammar, we will continue to work on common and proper nouns and

introduce pronouns.  We will be writing paragraphs with a topic sentence and 3

supporting sentences.

Math

     We will be working on comparison number stories, partial-sums algorithms, and

Trade-first subtraction algorithms.  Please refer to the Family Letter if you are

confused.  I teach these methods and “the old-fashioned way” (the way you and I

were taught!) and let the children choose the way they prefer.  They used these

methods in 2nd grade so are familiar with them.  A big CONGRATULATIONS

to Caiden Butler and Kyle Berry  for passing through the 12’s in Journey Through

the Stars!!  Way to go!!  J
