•  In reading we focused on the big question: Where does my food come from? We read the stories A Look at Breakfast, From Cows to You, and Where Does Food Come From? The kids used transition words (first, next, then, last) to create a flow chart of how bread, orange juice, or grape jam is made. 
• Our new phonics sounds were /oo/ as in food and /oo/ as in book. We learned when to double a consonant when spelling words with -ed and -ing like: skipped, running, stopped, and swimming.
• In math, we completed Topic 8: Understanding Place Value. The children counted tens and ones, drew longs and cubes to model a number, and identified which numbers were in the ones and tens place.
