📚 This week in reading, we focused on the letter Cc, word a, and concept of details. We read several books that used our word and letter of the week and had fun finding this sound and word in them all! We also paused throughout our stories to identify important details of the story that would help us understand what and why something is happening and better predict what might happen next.

🔢 We are focusing on the written form of our numbers this week when looking to compare groups. This means we counted two groups of objects, wrote their corresponding numbers, and then considered which numeral was greater and which numeral was less. Going through each of these steps helps solidify the math concepts as well as build a deeper understanding of what it all means.

🖊 Our Lincoln Lion Rainbow Publishers are hard at work on their teaching stories! We learned that writers don't just give up when it gets hard to spell or draw... no way! Writers keep on trying until they get it just the way they like! Help encourage your child to persevere when the going gets tough by reminding them of the Little Engine That Could. We can do it!

🌳 Science has brought us to our five senses this week. We are focusing on each of the senses and what they can help us observe about the things around us. We used our five senses to check out our tree a little closer. We listened for our tree's sound, we sniffed for our tree's scent, we looked for our tree's shape, and we felt for our tree's texture. Go on an adventure with your family and see what you can discover with your five senses!
