learn about several
word-solving strategies
as well as how to use
different text features (table of contents, captions, headings, bold words, glossaries, indexes, etc..)
Students will continue
to learn about and practice
collecting, interpreting, comparing, and representing data.
Math menus will review: time,
addition within 20, adding 9

facts.
