- worked on exchanging pennies and nickels for dimes and quarters.

Science:
We continued our unit on light and sound communication. We conducted an experiment to reenact a cave to see how light affects your ability to see. We worked with partners and put messages in a dark box that the kids had to try to read. We used flashlights and codes to send messages to a partner. We also learned about how boats use lights and sounds to navigate in the fog.
