Math: We will continue to work on addition, as well as numbers to 50.

Science: We began a unit on motion. This last week we learned about pushes and pulls, and gravity. Next week students will experiment with slopes.
Bible Story: We will hear the story of Daniel in the lion’s den. Our Bible timeline song sings, “Daniel is faithful to God, he’s not hurt by the lions.”

Composer: Our music classes are learning about the Romantic period Polish composer Frederic Chopin. Save this link to Ten Famous Chopin Pieces on your phone and listen on your way to and from school.
