Curriculum Highlights This Month!
Math: Students will be solving addition and subtraction word problems
as well as reviewing place value. Students will recognize the meaning of
the equal sign.
Reading: Students will identify the main topic and supporting key details
in both fictional and informational texts.
Writing: Young authors will write to inform about how they live, work
and play. We will use capital letters and punctuation properly.
Social Studies: Students will explore the traditions and customs of
families. We will compare the past to the present.
Science: Scientists will investigate physics as we see how non-living things
move.
