We continued to practice counting and comparing quantities. The children looked at dot images and learned how to write equations to match the total. We also started a new unit and explored shapes. The children went on a shape hunt in the classroom and outside. They found many circles, rectangles, and squares at school. Please notice the family letters in your child’s folder for this new math unit.

Science 

We continued our Organisms unit and began learning about Zoology during literacy time. The children leraned that zoologists are scientists who study animals. This week they reviewed the difference between living vs nonliving things. They sorted animals into 2 categories: domestic vs wild and discussed the meaning. The children also looked through books about VT animals and decided on one to make during Integrated Arts next week (bunny, black bear, beaver, duck, or frog).
