Reading: We will continue learning comprehension strategies this week as well as sequencing, graphic organizers, and context clues. Our story for this week is Grandfather's Journey.

Language: We are working on identifying the subject and predicate of sentences. The subject is who or what the sentence is about. The predicate is what they did. You can identify the predicate by first finding the verb in the sentence. We will also be working on writing our own complete sentences.
  

Science: We are beginning Chapter 1 Lesson 2: Environmental Interactions. We will be learning what an ecosystem is, abiotic and biotic factors, competition, and predators and prey.
Below is a link to our Science textbooks website. They have animated summaries, vocabulary games, and much more!
