Social Studies: We'll continue with our studies in Geography this week. The kids will continue to learn about their place on the map, cardinal directions and how to make a map.
Math: The beginning of the week will consist of reviewing our shapes and fractions of shapes. We'll finish off the week by starting a new unit of measurement and place value strategies. This unit will also include two-digit addition as we'll add various measurements together.
