In the afternoon, some of our friends listened to a story Places in My Community, learning about the different places in the community, and what we do in those places, like the park, stores, houses, and schools. The rest of our friends read in spanish about how to use a map legend, called a leyenda, and identified the symbols and what they stand for in the map legend. During math today, the green gators played grab and count, and practiced counting buttons, using efficient ways of counting (counting by 2's, or counting by 10's). The red rhinos today practiced writing balanced equations, and showing how each side can be balanced and equal each other. They also contiued to learn how objects can be sorted and by which attributes they can be grouped by. We played Guess My Rule with people/
