This week we started celebrating Earth Day!  We read stories such as Miss Fox's Class Goes Green and 10 Things I Can Do To Help My World. We made art projects and wrote about how we can help our Earth, even as kindergartners. Our new popcorn words were: eat, please, want, with.  The word family we were working on was -ot.  In math we have been working on addition and subtraction, and strategies we can use when solving problems.
