Reading
As a class we will read about various Olympic topics, such as the rings, the lighting and showing of the torch, events, and we will have a chance to research and write about one athlete. As a class we will be exploring the Olympic website, if your child is extra curious about this special event I highly recommend exploring the website at home!

Math
Adding and Subtracting within 10 using number bonds and number sentences. We will also start our Rocket Math fluency program.  

Science
We are very excited to have access to a new science kit to kick off the school year!  Before we jump in with observations, investigations, and experiments we are going to take the time to explain what scientists do and how they question to solve problems. Students will also be setting up their science notebooks.
