Reading: As readers, we will ask and answer questions about stories and non-fiction text. We will continue to work on identifying long and short vowels in words. We will identify and apply common, proper, and possessive nouns.

Math: As mathematicians, we will be decomposing two-digit numbers into tens and ones. We will use our knowledge of tens and ones to add two digit numbers.

Science: As scientist, we will explore light and sound. We will begin our second PBL project this month and use what we learn from this unit to create a scenery and sounds effects for a puppet show.
