Literacy
This week we are going to review the
following concepts: sequencing, comparing
and contrasting, cause and effect, and
problem and solution. The students have
studied all of these areas, but this week we
are going to combine them together. The
students will learn how to read a random

This week we are finishing our study of
seed dispersal. The students will be
asked to illustrate and provide a
written explanation of how animals
help plants. We will then move into
studying the life cycle of a plant. A
new vocabulary word we will be using is
“germinate.”
Reminders

child wears an Austin
Tracy shirt on Friday for

need a rain jacket or light
