In class we are learning to recognize number patterns. We have practiced writing by twos, counting aloud, and finding these number patterns in books. Here is a fun story about an Ant who counts by twos as he takes a trip through a farm. It is a fun opportunity for you to review this concept with your child. You can also help them recognize number patterns in the things you see toget
her.

The Solar System

I have created a new presentation for you to learn more about the solar system! The image doesn't have labels, so you can practice! You need to know these by memory. You can click on the links to see the name of each planet and to visit a web page that will give you more information about each of them. You should be able to give a short physical description of each planet.

Activity: create solar model
