Reading We will discuss different  gingerbread stories and focus on answering comprehension questions from literature stories. We will discuss story elements: characters, setting, retelling key events in sequence. We will identify author’s purpose to entertain.

Social Studies We will continue to learn about trade. Trade is when you give something away and get something else in return. It is also an exchange between two people.  A long time ago we traded goods for other goods or services. Today, we trade money for goods or services. We will be role playing many of these transactions this week.
