Spelling/Phonics– We do not have a spelling test this week. Our spelling test was suppose to have been last week but with Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the snow days it made for a short week to study spelling words. We will have a spelling test next week.

Reading– We will be learning that a Fable is a fictional tale that teaches a lesson or a moral. It is always entertaining, and it often has animals that talk and act like humans.

Math– We are starting double digit addition with regrouping. We are starting out using base ten blocks to understand how we regroup a ten into 10 ones. Basically borrowing, as we use to say in school.

We are learning several rhymes to help us.
1. If there’s more on the floor, go next door and get 10 more.
2. If there’s more on top, there’s no need to stop.
3. If the numbers are the same, then zero is the game.
