We have been working on long a with the silent e, -ai, and -at. We are introducing long e with -ee and -ea. We are practicing reading and learning the spelling patterns of words. *Science/STEM- We wrapped up our study of lights and shadows by performing our shadow puppet plays. *Social Studies- We are introducing a new American Hero: Theodore Roosevelt. We will be learning about the contributions he made to the United States. *Math- We have been working on adding and subtracting multiples of ten. We have been practicing adding and subtracting both vertically and horizontally. We are working on a new addition strategy- making a ten. We will continue to practice math facts and problem solving as well. *Writing- We continue to practice opinion writing. We are focusing a lot on singular and plural nouns in our writing. We have learned about the suffixes 's' and 'es'. We will also been working on different tenses of verbs in our sentences.
