What's been going on?

We have been really busy the past few months!

In math we have covered ordering numbers, identifying numbers with 2 and 3 digits, reading a picture graph, and solving story problems with addition and subtraction. Vocabulary we are using: between, before, after, sum, total, difference, and ordinal numbers. 

In LA we are working on identifying nouns, action verbs, and adjectives. We are also working to expand out sentences to include a detail. 

In Reading we have put a lot of focus on nonfiction stories. In hope you Gus are getting a chance to read the News 2 You stories that we are sending home. The kids are really enjoying them each week!

IC seems to be everyone's favorite these days. We spent the last month researching and studying about our solar system. The kids have learned to order the planets, learned facts about each planet, and made a PowerPoint about Ceres, a dwarf planet. Ask them about the solar system and I hope you will get an ear full of knowledge :)  also, check out story it's planets in YouTube. It's their current favorite.
