Our Work Today
This morning we started off our Monday Math block with a few games that reinforced counting, subitizing, and number sense skills. We started with a dice game where students rolled three dice and found the sums of all three. We then discussed certain number combinations that were easier to add together (i.e. 9 + 1 + 5) and why these numbers were easier! Many students were already looking for friendly numbers, such as adding to make 10 or 5, and some were even using doubles and near doubles facts. Students were then challenged on our next activity to find as many number combinations as they could that add up to 10. A lot of great math talk happened during these activities!
During Language Arts today we started with our Daily 5 time. After Daily 5, we workout on our weekly "Weekend Retell" writing, which we do every Monday. I also choose a different writing skill to focus on each time we do our retell stories. Today, we worked on adding more detail to our writing by answering the "5 W's" (Who, What, When, Where, Why). Students did a great job!
And finally, during 3rd block, we continued our talk from Remembrance day about "Peace" and discussed ways we could all be Peacemakers at our school. Students then helped me create our next Religion bulletin board above our prayer table by colouring a peace sign and writing out how they could be a Peacemaker... pictures to come once everyone is finished!
What a busy day! Looking forward to our adventures tomorrow.
