In Math, we started our chapter on numbers 11-20. In Social Studies, we continued to learn about maps and globes. We absolutely loved presenting our Me on the Maps project! I can tell you all worked hard on practicing the project; thank you for helping enrich your child's learning.
In Science, we continued exploring the concept of motion. The highlight of our week definitely was the HI-touch HI-Tech motion lab! We loved interacting with the visiting scientist and we enjoyed all the experiments.
