Theme:
This week, we will focus on the letter Pp and the number 20. We will create a word wall of “Pp” words,” learn the correct formation when writing this letter and number and explore the number bonds that can make the number 20.
Science:
We will explore our solar system and the planets. Like good scientists, we will ask questions like which planet is closer to the sun? We will create a windsock with the planets of our solar system.
STEM:
Our STEM challenge this week is to create a rainbow out of Play-Doh, pipe cleaners and fruit loops. Each student will have a worksheet with math problems and depending on how many they answer correctly, they will then build their rainbow.
