Dear Parents,
What a challenging week we had in math as we dove into addition using mental math. We found many ways to find the answers to two digit addition problems with and without regrouping. We used place value blocks and ten frames to make a ten. We found different ways to add the sums in our heads. We even got a sneak preview of adding numbers up and down in boxes. Lots of higher level thinking occurred as the children decomposed numbers to add them together.
In writing it was speed week. We finished taking our narratives about fall through the writing process. We had fun finding ways to make our papers better. We added words, crossed out words, and changed words to synonyms that sounded better. We found it hard to write on the lined paper, but with practice we will soon be forming our letters correctly.
In social studies we learned about the American flag and answered questions about it. We then learned that there are rules about how we treat the American flag. We began learning about American Symbols and chose four symbols to research.
In science we finished up observing matter by sorting items by their physical properties and had a scavenger hunt to find objects in our room that had certain physical properties. We used Draw and Tell on our ipads to show that we can describe an object using its physical properties.
It was a great Week!
