MATH:
We are almost experts at addition and subtraction, please keep working on those skills at home and don't forget, math homework is always due the following day for full credit. We will be concluding this unit of study within the next week and a half.
Social Studies:
I just love learning about the geography of where people live, why they choose a certain place to live, and what kind of jobs are available in these areas. We continue our study on communities and will learn about the first peoples of our nation in the following weeks.
