This week in handwriting we reviewed our lowercase cursive letters and practiced writing numbers in cursive. In math we worked on three-digit subtraction and learned vocabulary about arrays. In language we practiced using contractions in sentences. This week in reading we read informational text. In science we learned about how water moves from higher places to lower places. In social studies we are learning about technology and American culture.
