We continued to work on recognizing and building numbers using ten frames and fingers. We learned games to practice adding numbers and showing different number combinations. We listened to different stories and used pictures and numbers to show what happened. We even wrote equations to match problems. The children also worked on carefully writing single digit numbers accurately so they did not reverse digits.

Science 

We finished our Zoology unit this week. We reviewed what different animal groups have in common. We also shared about what makes animals different. Ask your child to tell you about a bird and bat. The children really enjoyed listening to many read alouds about animals (fictional and informational). 

We completed part 2 of the Scat and Tracks program from VT Fish and Wildlife. This week we learned about the beaver. We learned about their habitat, food, and fun facts. Please encourage your child to look for animal tracks if you take walks at home.
