April Highlights
We learned about the life cycle of many animals. We learned certain cycles by acting out the different stages.
We learned the difference between tally charts, bar graphs, and picture graphs.
The class was surveyed to obtain data to make the graphs and charts with.
We began measuring using nonstandard objects. We had the most fun measuring our friends using objects of our choice. We also have started our lesson on telling time. We are able to read time on an analog and digital clock. We will continue learning time to the hour and to the minute in May.
