This week, we finished reading our story “Plaidypus Lost” and discussed sequence and the jobs of the author and illustrator. We also learned about the letters Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, and Ss and talked about “opposites.” In Math, we began our topic on identifying and describing shapes. So far, we have learned about rectangles, squares, circles, triangles, and hexagons. In handwriting, we continued working with the “Frog Jump Capitals” and wrote Dd, Pp, Bb, and Rr. In Social Studies we continued our unit on Citizenship. We discussed how to help out, how to be a good friend, and how to do our very best.

Reminders:
