We are learning about the different plants and animals that live in each region.
Language Arts - We will begin Sort 16 which is adding -ing to words with VCe and VVC patterns such as close - closing and dream- dreaming. We will continue our study of adjectives and articles. We will practice comparing with adjectives, and we will learn that adjectives can tell what kind and how many.
