In reading groups we have been working

on blends er, ir, and ur. Our vocabulary
words are freezes, wider, deserted,

subtracting 2. This is very similar to
subtracting 1, only we do it twice.

In writing, we have been working on

writing paragraphs. We are focusing on
staying on topic and this week we wrote
paragraphs about the animals we are
studying.
