This week in Math...
We are exploring the relationship between addition and subtraction. We will begin learning how subtraction problems work and finding patterns to help us solve. We will solve word problems and add strategies to our problem solving tool box. We will also share the strategies we use when solving problems so we can learn from each other.

We are discovering and observing rocks and soils! We will discuss the properties of rocks, what rocks are used for and where we see rocks in the world around us. We will learn about the different types of soils and what they are used for.
