Reading: In reading this week we are working on visualizing our stories. We will make “movies” in our mind of what is happening in our story. We will also work on a few more comprehension strategies. We will keep track of who is reading in our stories and learn how to understand new vocabulary words.

Math: In math this week we will continue our work with the bead racks and number combinations to 20.  We are working on using strategies like make a ten, doubles plus one or two.

Science: In science we will be exploring light and sound through centers.  We will be using the iPads, reading books, making artwork that is translucent, and creating our own instruments.
