This week we discussed even and odd numbers in math. We are reviewing for our social studies test on American culture and history. In handwriting we learned uppercase cursive “A,” “D,” “C,” and “O”. We are continuing to review contractions in language. In reading we reviewed sound spellings for the sounds \/oo\/, \/j\/ and \/s\/. In religion we read about Paul’s missionary journeys. In science we learned about fossils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
