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!
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 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 continue next week with learning about Force and Motion. Can you move a ball without touching it? Learners will predict, graph, count, Tally, and reflect on "Bowling Experiment" to see if they can move a ball without touching. Learners will complete an Activity Reader on Positional Words.
Social Studies
We will continue to learn about Landforms in Social Studies. We will create a flip book about our Earth. We will learn how landforms have a characteristic shape and can include features as plains, plateaus, mountains, and valleys, etc., and smaller features such as hills and canyons.
