Reminders:
We are trying to make sure that homework folders are coming home everyday.  Please make sure that you check for it every day and take out any papers that are corrected or that we have completed.  If there are papers that are incomplete please have your students finish them and return them the next day.

This week's story is called Mrs. Brown Went to Town.  Life on the farm changes when Mrs. Brown goes to the hospital and all of her farm animals - a cow, two pigs, three ducks, and a yak - move into her house.   

Strategy Focus for the week: Predict / Infer.  As we read and look at the pictures, we can make predictions and inferences about the story. 

Comprehension Skill: Predicting outcomes.
