Math: In math we are starting to learn about Arrays. Students are starting into multiplication. This week we will be focusing on zero, ones and fives. We will start passing off to earn a Banana Split sundae. Our party will be set for the end of February.

Reading: Our class is currently reading George’s Marvelous Medicine as a class. This week’s story in our Harcourt series is called the “Rosie a Visiting Dog Story”.
