The children finished researching specific facts about their frog this week. We practiced planning and writing an introductory paragraph, with a clear focus statement that explains the main idea of their essays. Next week we will finish writing our body paragraphs which will focus on two of our frog's adaptations, then the children will practice writing a concluding paragraph. 

Students will continue adding numbers up to 10,000 using multiple strategies. We will then begin subtracting numbers up to 10,000 using many strategies to solve word problems.
