Social Studies:
Our social studies lessons have centered around problem solving. We
talk about problems that we face every day, and how we can solve
them! We looked at pictures of Martin Luther King Jr. and discussed
how he solved the problems that he faced.

Science: We connected our science lessons with our literacy lessons


by learning about all kinds of amazing animals. We learned that
animals need food and water to survive just like plants!
