Read-A-Thon: Our Read-A-Thon runs through Monday, February 13th. Keep logging the minutes you are reading at home and bringing in donations through Monday! We will find out on Monday which class will earn the pizza party! You can still register your student so that they can earn reading minutes at school: https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/lvofry/1

Reading: We read a book called “The Legend of the Coqui”. Ask your student to tell you the theme, or central message of the story. We practiced our five finger retell and made sure to include the characters, setting, and important events in the story.
Writing: Students continued their personal narratives. They shared their events with a friend, sketched the beginning, middle, and end, and began to write their story.
Math: We started our subtraction unit and learned that subtraction is taking apart or taking away from.

Words we have learned so far: I, a, am, the, like, eat, in, it, did, into, and, we, see, go, no, so, has, as, is, his, does, box, on, was, man, am, at, that, hand, ran, friend, they, he, little, play, men, red, help, end, yes, went, get, way, away, say, day, run, up, under, must, and, you, there.
