LITERACY Update:  We are currently working on creating amazing hamburger paragraphs and making reading connections.  A hamburger paragraph involved a topic sentence, 2-3 supporting details sentences and a conclusion sentence.  In reading we are trying to make text-to-self, media, world and text-to-text connections while reading.
MATH:  In math we just finished working on collecting, interpreting and representing data.  We surveyed classmates and presented our findings through graphs and observations.
We have moved on to representing, comparing and ordering numbers, using place value.  Check out this song to help with place value.

HEALTH:  We are discussing a variety of ways to maintain personal safety in the real world (including online and anti bullying messages).  We will will be creating our own commercials to demonstrate our knowledge of personal safety.
