Sight word: See (Review: I, can, we, the, like, a)

Writing: We will continue to focus on space between the words. We will make a list of vehicle and review shapes. We will also be able to write sentences independently using stems such as:  “I see a____.”,  “I see a (shape) on a (vehicle).”

Math: We will be working on greater than, less than or equal to. We will explore numbers using dice, dominoes and a number line. We will explore the use of a pan balance and review lighter and heavier. We will continue to practice counting 0-30 .  We will also practice adding one to any given number.
