• In language arts, we worked on the strategies of summarizing and retelling.  We also did some songs and activities on the smart board to practice beginning sounds.
• In writing, we practiced writing our heart word "this" in our visitor's guides.  We then practiced reading our visitor's guides.
• In math, we finished up creating our own story problems and solving the story problems.  This week, many of our problems focused on subtraction.
• In social studies, we made maps of our city.  We also made a key to go along with those maps.  In addition, we learned about the difference between goods and services.
• During community centers, we continued with our city.  We worked hard this week on taking turns and learning what to do if many people want to do the same thing at once.
• Heart word of the week: do
• Special theme of the week: Neighborhood
