Math: Students are now in unit two and have started learning about pennies and nickels, as well as telling time to the hour. Students are learning how to add up using different addition strategies.

Portuguese: Utilizando a música A E I O U, do grupo Triii, como base, as crianças estão refletindo sobre os sons das vogais em Português e suas representações na escrita, comparando-os com os sons e as representações do inglês. Além disso, a partir das adivinhas da música, brincaremos de "O que é, o que é?" para praticar a leitura deste gênero.
