Math-Our first  unit is on place value.  This week the children worked with numbers through 999,999.  They worked on recognizing the values of the digits in numbers.  We also discussed expanded form, as well as standard form.  An example of expanded form is 4,220=4,000+200+20.

Positivity Project-This year we are starting a wonderful program entitled "The Positivity Project."  It is designed to recognize character strengths in ourselves and others which will help foster positive relationships.  Each week we will focus on a character strength such as integrity, teamwork, and bravery.

Science-We read about St. Paul, and how he even spread the word of God when he was in jail, by writing letters.

Reading-We read an informational text about a one room schoolhouse and compared it to our schools today.
     We also reviewed the long and short vowel sounds.
