Math

Last week Kindergarten Mathematicians continued exploring numbers one to five as they explored properties of sets and learned that graphs are useful tools to record information.  This week our scholars will continue to talk about sets.  They will learn that numerals are symbols that describe how many items are in a set and will learn how to precisely form numbers using the Spalding method.

In Science, we learned about the Sense of Sight and Sense of Hearing.
Our scholars will wrap up learning about the individual 5 senses with the sense of taste and will complete a My Five Senses Unit Review/Assessment on Thursday.
