 In Science we reviewed the 5 senses and talked about the body parts that correspondence with each sense. Students worked on seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. 

In Reading and Writing we read the story called In the Forest. The students were asked to recall the types of things seen in the forest and compare the forest to the desert. We looked at animals, and types of plants for comparison.
