A Glance at the Week…
Reading ~We will be reading “Pushing Up the Sky”
this week. This story is a play. The kids will read it
as a play during class and get to have different
parts. We will be focusing on author’s purpose and
summarizing.
Math ~We will be starting our study on
multiplication this week. The kids are excited about
this but they are going to have to practice! We will
focus on arrays and repeated addition this week.
We will also be talking about the 0, 1, and skip
counting. I will be teaching them different
strategies to help them with multiplication 
