Here's a look at our week:

Reading: This week we focused on summarizing a story. We learned that summarizing means to tell the story in your own words. We used the following questions to help us:

Somebody: Who is the main character?
Wanted: What did the character want?
But: What was the problem?
So: How did the character solve the problem?
Then: What happened at the end?

Writing: We finished our last fiction story! Next week we will write a Christmas themed story.

Math: This week we started our chapter on Place Value. We learned how to identify the ones, tens, and hundreds. We also learned how to write a number in extended form.

Bible: In Bible we finished our lessons on prayer and put together our hand prayer books. We also started practicing for our play about the Christmas story!
