In Grammar: this week we continue learning about the importance of capital letter.  This week we focus on titles for people.

In Writing we continue our persuasive writine assignment. In Math, this week we are learning about regrouping with addition.  We are using our base ten blocks and unit blocks to help understand this concept.

The children did a great job on their Social Studies Test and we are enjoying the traditions, interviews and family tree projects.

In Science we are learning about how plants and animals depend on each other.  We will be learning about the food web and food chain.  The children are really enjoying learning about the predator and prey role that animals play in the food web.

Have a great week, stay tuned for more information about our Valentines, Great American Book Report and Flat Stanley.  News to follow this week!
