This week in Reading, we read the story “Max Takes the Train” and discussed different types of transportation and environmental print. We learned about the letter Jj and Ww. We also discussed ways to improve our writing: using capital letters, punctuation, adding details (why and how), using adjectives, etc. Next week, we will be reading the story “Mayday! Mayday!” and learning about what kinds of transportation help us in an emergency. We will be learning the letter Xx.

In Math, we continued working on subtraction: using the minus sign and finding differences. Next week, we will be tested on subtraction and will start Topic 9: Composing and Decomposing numbers to 10.

In Science, we discussed how plants and animals are alike and different and the phases of the water cycle.
