         - we read a book called Robot Cat and listened for parts that were humorous.
         - we learned about main idea and sequence in guided reading.
         - worked on number stories that involved comparing amounts.
         - continued learning about geography including the continents and oceans.
         - we started reading The Year of Billy Miller by Kevin Henkes.
