• read primary data presented in concrete graphs, pictographs, line plots, simple bar graphs, and other graphic organizers (e.g., tally charts, diagrams), and describe the data using mathematical language
• pose and answer questions about class generated data in concrete graphs, pictographs, line plots, simple bar graphs, and tally charts

Social Studies:

• compare their family’s structure and some of their traditions and celebrations with those of their peers’ families (e.g., traditions/celebrations, holidays, foods)
• Creating a celebration float to showcase key details and symbols of the celebration

• dribble a ball over a short distance, using their feet

Science

Liquids and Solids

• Investigate the properties of liquids and solids and how they interact with each other
• Explore and assess the ways in which liquids and solids have an impact on our society and environment

Upcoming Assessments:

• Celebration Float
• Oral Presentation to their peers about their celebration float
• Independent data collection and graphing
• Celebration play presentation
