Language Arts
In this next week we will be reading a story entitled Mister Bones. All of our spelling words will be words with the long o sound spelled /oa/or /ow/. We will continue working with adjectives as we look at adjectives for size. In reading we will focus on identifying the author’s purpose of a story. We will continue to use the complete writing process (brainstorming, pre-writing, draft, revise/edit, publish) to complete another piece for our writing portfolios.


Math
This week we will complete our study in geometry. We will begin to look at fractional parts of a whole, and fractional parts of a group. We will be working with the words numerator and denominator as crucial vocabulary.
