This week we have been focusing on President's Day and the what the importance is to us and our country. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln fueled many of our discussions in literature as well as math . We learned many facts about the beginning of our country as well as how presidents came about. We tied that information into what freedoms we have today because of those ideas long ago.We wrote about what we would do if we could be President. In language arts we practiced our sight word knowledge , short vowel sounds as well as what good writers do. In math we introduced coins -- we compared the penny and nickel-size/shape/worth/president featured on coin. We also began adding coins together--using pennies and nickels. Next week we'll introduce dimes and quarters. We finished talking about mail this week, but will continue to open mail until it is all sent home. We have been practicing our addresses too. This week we will add phone numbers as well. Please make sure we have an updated phone number for you, as we begin .
