Social Studies 
The children will be studying "Communities Around the World." 
We read Time for Kids to keep up with current events in our world.

Reading
The children will be engaged in different reading strategies.  Some of these strategies include: main idea, using context clues, cause and effect, sequencing, fact and opinion, inferencing and figurative language.  

Through our classroom Book Talks, children will be making predictions, commenting on the book, making text-to-self connections and text-to-text connections, discussing the author's purpose, asking questions and retelling the story.

Writing
The types of writing that we will be exploring this year are: memoirs, narratives, non-fiction, responding to literature, expository writing, poetry and so much more.
