Social Studies We will finish a unit of study on planets, objects in the sky, and light.

THEN, we will begin two new exciting units: PLANTS and BUTTERFLIES! Each child will grow several plants and investigate these. As a class, we will ‘grow’ a few caterpillars into butterflies, as well, to watch and learn from their development.

Math We will continue Module 6, which readdresses two digit numbers and identifying the tens and ones in those numbers. We also add and subtract, crossing over tens, with sums up to 20 and above. We will be able to identify ’10 more, 10 less’ than a given number or ‘1 more, 1 less’ than a given number.

As always, you may refer to our math website for vocabulary and help: This week: Lessons 5-10
