This week in Reading, we will be reading the story "George Washington Visits" and discussing how life today is different from life hundreds of years ago. We will be learning about the letters Dd and Kk & doing our Dinosaur projects! We will also learn two new words: see, look. Our new skill for the story is cause and effect.

In Math, we will be tested on comparing and ordering numbers 0-10. We will also be starting Unit 5: counting, reading, and writing numbers to 20.

In Science, we will be re-introducing our new unit on "Objects." We will be discussing what objects are made of and their characteristics.
