Math
We learned about base 10s. We learned about plus and minus. We learned about tally marks and before and after. We have to show our work, and we are doing numbers later and before. Also, we see which one is more and less. We do Dreambox in math. Today we did different shapes and the clock, and we did shapes like squares and hexagons. It is so fun.


Reading
By Ditvi, Aaron, Avery, Diego
We read about owls, and we made a picture and wrote about what they can do, what owls are, and what owls have. We do read to self and do other fun things in reading, and we are also reading about bees. The books are good, and we read on Epic, and fun books are in our book boxes.

We are learning about bees and queen bees. We read about owl pellets. We look for patterns in the sky. The earth moves around the sun, and the moon moves, too. When the earth moves, it moves from nighttime to daytime. Patters we notice are velcro strips on the floor. We see the light and dark colors and the pattern on a name chain.
