Social Studies

We begin to classify animals into animal categories: reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, amphi-bians, insects) . Ask your child tell you an animal in each category and have them give you a characteristic of that classification group.

Math We will continue to work on adding numbers to 20. We will sometimes do this with words problems and sometimes do this just in simple addition sentences. We will also be able to tell if two addition sentences are equal (have the same answer). Refer to the Engage New York website Module 1 lessons 14-17….. for hints on strategies used.
