LANGUAGE ARTS:  This week we read and discussed Meet Me Halfway and Big Red LollipopMeet Me Halfway is an informational text while Big Red Lollipop is a realistic fiction selection.  We worked on skills such as decoding words with final consonant blends, decoding words with the prefixes "un" and "re" as in unable and rewrite, using context clues to determine meanings of unfamiliar words, capitalizing names for special people, animals, places, and things, and learning ten new high-frequency words.

MATH:  We took the chapter test over adding within 100 using strategies and started a new chapter over fluently adding within 100.  So far students have added two-digit numbers using tens and ones models.
