Week Overview
Reading - We continued learning about freshwater habitats. Follow our learning on our mind map.
Writing -  We learned about adjectives and pronouns this week. Next week, we will practice with pronouns and review verbs.
Read Aloud - We started to learn about homonyms - 2 or more words that mean different things but are spelled the same. You can follow our learning on the mind map.
Math - We practiced reading thermometers and started learning about reading data on graphs. We will continue this learning next week and after spring break.
Science We started our Plant Life Cycles unit focusing on plant needs and the life cycle. We did a bunch of learning about plants earlier this month so it has been a breeze for the kids.
Handwriting - We practiced our print writing and learned how to write s, o, and w in cursive.

Have a wonderful weekend,
