We went to a play called "Junie B Jones in Jingle Bells Batman Smells (P.S. So Does May)". This week we learned a new math segment called base ten pieces. We also had a new book that we are reading called On the Wings of a Hero. So far it is good.We just started science. It is really fun. We've been studying land and water. We've been doing calendar. We have a pattern. Every four days we have a new animal on our calendar. On our Great Wall of Base Ten we have a mat-mat, strip-mat, a mat, a strip, and a unit. A mat-mat is 10,000 square centimeters. The dimensions are 100 centimeters x 100 centimeters. The strip-mat is 1,000 square centimeters. The dimensions are 10 centimeters x 100 centimeters.
