Focus this week

This week our focus is on Place Value up to 10 000. We are also working on Greater Than >, Less Than <, and comparing and ordering numbers. Homework in the duotang reflects this. Our science is spending time with Habitats and Animal Communities.

Reminder- Send in Milk Orders and any unsigned Office Admin sheets regarding addresses and contact numbers!
