In math this week we have been learning about pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars. We are learning how much they are worth and we learned that they have a heads and tails. We have also been learning the months of the year and that there are 12 of them.

We have started learning about our bodies and how they work. This week we started looking at our bones. We learned that there are 206 bones in the whole body and there are 22 bones in the foot. Next we learned about our skin. Everybody has different colors of skin. We discovered that our skin can be the same color as different foods. We found out what a patella, phalanges and femur are. Finally we have started drawing ourselves.

We have also started working on a class book. Everyone is writing a different story about things we have done in school. When our book is done it will be a really nice hardcover book.

Wow this has been a busy week!
