In Math, we are counting pennies and adding and subtracting pennies.  We will continue to review numbers to 10, especially how to write them.  We have been counting our days of school, with our goal being 100. We also started working with a clock and talking about telling time to the hour.

Our Thanksgiving bulletin board is starting to come together.  We are working on Thanksgiving feasts, Pilgrims, Native Americans, the Mayflower, and establishing a community once the Pilgrims arrived.
