I hope everyone had a great weekend! This week is our second week in Advent!

Joke of the week: If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?

Language Arts- This week we begin Unit 3 of our Journey’s series. Our essential question is, How does the weather change in different months and seasons? We will read Every Season, Jump into January, and Holidays All Year Long. As we read the stories we will focus on comparing and contrasting, text features, and questioning the text. We will learn two new sight words, come and me, and review the short a sound, and blend words. In grammar, we will learn about the subject part of a sentence, and lastly, in writing we will focus on word choice.
