The children played games to work on becoming fluent with basic addition and subtraction facts. They played the game "Race to the Sun" and had to solve equations to figure out how many spaces to move. They used cubes, their fingers, and five frames to solve equations like 5-1 or 3+2. They also practiced reading, writing, and identifying numbers 11-20 so they did not transpose (say 51 for 15) or reverse digits when recording.

Science 

We have been learning about different ecosystems like oceans, deserts, and rainforests. The children have been hearing many books about plants and animals in these places and how they adapt to their environments. We have also been learning about force and motion through games and exploration. The children had fun playing mini golf in the classroom this week!
