This week in Reading, we read the story “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and talked about adventures that can cause trouble. We learned about the letter Gg and discussed characters. We also read several other versions of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and compared and contrasted each one to find our favorite!

Next week, we will be reading the story “If You Could Go to Antarctica” and learning about Antarctic adventures. We will be learning the letter Ee and practicing classifying and categorizing. We will be learning three new words: from, go, here.

In Math, we started our topic on Subtraction.

Next week, we will continue our topic on Subtraction and begin working with the minus sign and finding differences.
