Math – we were learning to order the numbers from 0 to 20 but wait, that’s not all! We are actually counting to 100 already! We still mistake the names of the numbers (twenty-ten ?) or the order of the digits (45, is that 4 and 5 or 5 and 4 ?) but we are definitely getting there. Yes, 100 chart is what we’re going to work on this week!

Language arts – working with letters Nn and Ww, getting better at reading short sentences, also with some new words – BIG, LITTLE.

Science – we’re finishing our unit on water (bodies of water/ the importance of water) and will start one on matter this week. That means using a lot of our sorting skills that we’ve practices in the rocks unit.

Also, check out our latest favourite song – water-related of course 🙂
