READING-We will continue learning about PLANTS.  Our theme this week will be  Seeds and Plants.  We will begin with a book titled  Seed Secrets.  It’s a story about how seeds travel so we will be talking and learning about similies!  Watch for some comparisons to be made at home.

WRITING-Informational   We will continue with First, Next, Then, Last.  I have broken down their writing for them and they are doing well with this form of organizing thoughts for their writing.  This week they were writing about what they do before school in the mornings.

First I get up.

Next I make my bed.

Then I eat my breakfast.

Last I brush my teeth.

The Informational Writing will be sequencing steps about planting seeds.
