We will also begin a new unit in spelling that focuses on words that have the long a sound with final silent e (CVCe). We will begin reading aloud books on Fall and Autumn and continue to work on making connections to the text with ourself, other texts, and the world.
Social Studies
We will continue our unit on government! We will keep learning about symbols that represent our country and talk about voting and rights!
Math
In math this week, we will continuing our learning about comparing numbers. We will learn to look at the tens place first and then the ones place before comparing numbers. We will be able to use the vocabulary "greater than," "less than," and "equal to" like pros! We will also look at ordering numbers from greatest to least and least to greatest.
Here's one of our favorite comparing numbers songs!
