Writing: We will be writing an informational piece on the seasons. This writing piece needs to inform us on what kind of activities we do in that season (using verbs). The sentence stem will be: In __(season), I _____. I ____. I can also____.

Math: We will practice subtraction using created pictures, manipulatives, drawings and number sentences. We will practice counting backwards to aide in this process.

Social Studies: We will continue to sharpen our map skills. We will learn to follow directions, to find items on a map and to understand important aspects of a map such as a compass rose, a key and positional words (next to, across, south of, north of, west of, east of, behind, above, below etc..). Last week, we created our own classroom map where we discussed areas in the room. This week, we will look and work on different types of maps and place items based on directions.
