Place Value and Recounts

Hello,

This morning, we worked on place value to the hundreds place. We played a great warm-up game at the following website: http://www.abcya.com/place_value_hockey.htm

We created our Learning goal and success criteria for completing this task. Next, we discussed strategies for determining and displaying place value and what the numbers represent. I gave the students a double-sided sheet for practice and they need to complete at least the first side.

In Language, we began to write recounts. Each student wrote in their Journal about what they did on the weekend, then I created a paragraph about my weekend, showing them the parts of a paragraph needed for a detailed recount. After I shared my exemplar, we worked together to create our learning goal and success criteria. We will continue to work on this task tomorrow.

In the afternoon, we had outdoor gym on the play structure, we did some Improv Drama games and we discussed the important role grandparents play in a family during Religion.

Have a great night.

Mr. Skinner
