Greetings!

Today, we continued on our 10 page package of data tables and pictographs, reading the graphs and orally answering the questions before writing the answers. Students are being sternly reminded they MUST print number sentences when asked 'how many more...' and 'how many total...'

In our Unit, we worked in our groups to list all the things we use in our class that have been invented. We listed about 20-25 items we use daily. How far classrooms have come in 100 years!!!

We are slowly collecting bags of 100 items - q-tips, jiggly eyes, pom poms, and foam shapes. Hundreds Day is February 7.

Good luck listening to speeches as they are being memorized.

Greetings!

Your child may be restless after spending three recesses indoors because of the weather.

Today, they partnered up and read or recited their speeches to each other. They are really good stories! Please, all they will be doing for homework until Monday is memorizing the speeches. Thanks

We started our Inventions Unit today. We listed 30 forms of transportation that have been invented for people by people. We were amazed at the number. 

We have pom poms, jiggly eyes, and foam shapes. 

Have a safe evening.

Good Evening!

Today, we continue to work with our weekly words. In Math, we did some probability with a graph. After rolling two dice and adding the numbers, which number do you think you will get the most? They had to record the addition sentences then the graph with the answers. This was fun but also disappointing because almost no one rolled what they predicted.


Later, we finished our 4 menus posters. We will start our next unit, Inventions, tomorrow. We need to brainstorm materials objects are made of and why. 

Have a super evening.

Greetings!

It was an extremely cold day resulting with indoor recesses. 

We followed our usual routine of Calendar Wall and Math. We read and answered questions about bar and pictographs using tallies and numbers. Later, we held our weekly spelling test.


The students wrote a recount of an activity from their weekends accompanied with pictures. The students who have completed their four menus worked on Food Group word searches while those needing to finish worked on their posters. 

Please note there are spaces available in the After School Art program with Jada. The students make amazing crafts. 

Have a super day.

Greetings:

The students had another fun time at the arena skating with parents and fellow students. 

Our menus are almost done. The variety of food choices are very interesting. This has been a challenge for students to ensure at least 3 food groups are on each plate. They will have 2 more days, then we start looking at our next unit, inventions. 

I had the students do a Math exercise using addition Scoot cards posted around the class and each student had an answer chart. This proved to be challenging, finding the cards to match the number on the chart, counting and answering the questions. It is a great way to review their addition skills using numbers and pictures. 

Have a super weekend listening to speeches!
