Math
We have been working hard on addition and subtraction! We have learned so many strategies and most of us have found what strategies work best for us! ( So far we have learned: Draw a picture, count objects, count on your fingers, use a number line, count on and use counting beads -rekenrek)
We will be introducing mixed addition and subtraction problems and knowing what to do when we see a plus sign or a minus sign.
(Our decomposing and composing of numbers that we have been working on is helping us solve our problems so quickly! If your child is still struggling with this, please continue to work with them on building numbers- 3 can be decomposed into 2 and 1, 5 can be decomposed into 3 and 2..)
*As a challenge, have your child write an addition or subtraction story problem and solve it using their favorite strategy!
We are also working hard on counting by 1's past 120 and counting by 10's past 130. Keep working hard on this!
We have been working on collecting data and turning it into a graph! As a challenge, have your child collect data and turn it into a graph of their choice! ( We have polled our classes on favorite ice cream, favorite animals, favorite vegetables. You and your child to take a walk and collect information on what animals you see on your walk, or what types/kinds of different things you see) I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Science
We will begin our unit on Force and Motion. There are many forces at work in our daily activities, such as a soccer ball being kicked, (force), and as it is moving through the air, there are movements (motion). Vocabulary words we will be using for this unit will be push, pull, motion, position, gravity, and force.
Social Studies
Landforms are so much fun to learn about! We will go on a Landform Scavenger Hunt with QR Codes, Create a Landform Book, play "Around the World", I have.. who has.... landform pictures, and choose words that are Landform or Not Landforms.
