Math

We continued our numbers unit this week. We focused on writing number 4 and 5 while continuing to practice counting to these numbers. We worked in Halloween themed centers.

This week we had a visit from a firefighter. We talked about fire safety and what to do if our house were to catch fire. Then we got to see the firefighter put all of his gear on.

We enjoyed our Halloween party! Thank you to all of the parents who donated items, created games and were able to help the students enjoy the activities.
