Reading: We have started a new reading unit: "Characters and their Stories". This unit is all about studying fictional stories and digging deeper into comprehension strategies. Last week we learned how to "stop and jot" to record what we are thinking as we read. We also reviewed the character traits of familiar characters that we have met in previous stories.
Writing: We will be starting a new writing unit: "Writing Gripping Fictional Stories". This unit is all about character and plot development. The kids have so much fun making up their own characters and stories! This week we will learn the difference between realistic and unrealistic fiction. We will also learn to create interesting characters for our stories.

Math: We will also be starting a new math module, Module 4: "Addition and Subtraction within 200 with Word Problems to 100". This week we will be learning to relate 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, and 10 less to addition and subtraction of 1 and 10. We will work on adding and subtraction multiples of 10 and then add on some ones by the end of the week.
Social Studies: We will add new states to our United States map practice. Ask your child about these states: ND and SD. Where does Chef Mimal hand up his cooking coats? We will also read our Scholastic News together. This week's issue is titled: "A Winter's Trip" and about reindeer and their migration.
