What we have been up to:

Reading: This week we work on words with ee and ea.  Our theme this week was about things that scientists do.  We learned about Jane Goodall and George Washington Carver.

Math: This week we continued our unit on graphs.  We started by graphing our favorite season.  We have been working hard at comparing three and four items in the graph by using the vocabulary more and less.  

Science/ Social Studies: We continued our study on past and present.  This week we talked about old time tools and compared them to our present day tools.  We also compared schools in the past to our present day schools.
