During the months of April, May, June students will work on the following skills
- numbers to 100 (ordering, identifying, representing, and writing)
- addition and subtraction

- capacity
- telling time to the hour

Throughout the year students will explore math through open-ended- problem solving journals, math stations, ipads/ipods, IXL, rekenreks, and a variety of math manipulatives.
HANDWRITING/WRITING
We are working on thinking like writers and getting our ideas on paper using pictures and words. We are also labeling, stretching out words, and using our vowels. This week we are working on turning our writing and ideas into books and scrolls. We are working on thinking about what we are going to write and planning it out across all of the pages in our story. Including details and labeling in our pictures is an important way to tell more about our story. We are also working on neatness, finger spacing, punctuation, and making sense.

history of the United States: the first voyage of Columbus, and the voyage of the Pilgrims some 128 years later.
Colonial Towns and Townspeople--This unit continue the students' journey as they learn more about he early history of our country. The setting for this unit is more than 150 years later, after the colonies had been firmly established.
