We have also added math work in the mornings! The students are practicing math and problem solving through out the day! We having been really working hard on how to tell time. This has been fun and the students are doing great! Our next unit focuses on measurement. We will practice measuring different items and learn to use nonstandard units. Have your child measure things around the house and decide which items are long and which are short.
Science, Health, Social Studies: This week we have been talking about magnets! We did a fun experiement and used magnets in the classroom. Ask your children to tell you everything they know about magnets. Next week we will be discussing plants and animals. We will determine what plants and animals need to grow and survive.
