Reading
We will be reading A Tree Is Nice written by Janice May Udry. It is a book about many ways to enjoy trees. We will also read My Baby Brother from a collection of poems written by Mary Ann Hoberman. The strategy we will focus on is visualization. Students will informally use schema and inference as they visualize. Readers will create unique mental images from texts based on their own background knowledge and experiences.
Vocabulary Words: dreadful, terrific, grumble, scrunch
Writing
Students will hear and discuss good writing. They will write about something that has happened to them and begin to explore descriptive language. We will focus on capitalizing the first letter of sentences and using ending sentence punctuation.
Math
We will be comparing 2-digit numbers using <, >, and =. Students will order 2-digit numbers and round numbers to the nearest 10.

We will learn about the "others" food group. Foods from this food group do not help our bodies stay healthy and grow the way the Five Food Groups foods do.
Social Studies
Students will locate communities, states and countries on maps and identify state and national symbols.
