Reading 
This week in reading we read the book Moon. In this story we learned interesting facts about the moon that circles the earth. Other planets have their own moons and some even have two or more moons. We also learned the vocabulary words visible and entire.

We also read several books about Ocean animals, as well as, practiced our ocean themed poem.

In the Ocean

I know a place that’s deep and blue

Tons of creatures swim on through

Great white sharks and electric eels

Jellyfish and elephant seals

In the ocean!

In the ocean!

Starfish, seahorses, and stingray

Swim about the sea all day

Octopus plunge in the sea

Gentle cow-like manatees

In the ocean!

In the ocean!

Our weekly reader this week was describing a fish. Animals have to live in water, have gills, fins, and a backbone to make it a fish.

Math

In math we have continued practicing adding and subtracting within 5. In our centers we practiced fishing for numbers. Then we found the bigger number and subtracted the smaller number from it to find our answer. We also learned a trick using a rainbow to add numbers that equal 10.
