This morning, we discussed our regrouping questions, involving dollars, dimes and pennies. We discussed the ways we reached our solutions for those questions. Next, we continued to work on our regrouping, using base ten blocks and two-digit addition. Many students worked ahead last night and finished both of the double-sided worksheets on these topics. I will be collecting the student workbooks tomorrow, to correct over the weekend. I will give some class time to work on this task tomorrow, but it would be a good idea to work on this Math tonight, to ensure everything is completed by lunch tomorrow.
In Language, we watched a video about Terry Fox and I started to read a book to the class, telling his story. We discussed the themes of his story - Courage, strength, dedication - and the types of personal connections we could make to the story. We will continue to read the story on Friday, making more connections as we go.
Then the students read a selection of levelled stories. Some read "The Cat's Diary", others read "Dad's Pasta" and a final group read "The Family Tree". Once they finished reading the text, each student was asked to write down one
Finally, we wrote our conclusions for our recount draft, then we continued our discussion on the communities we are members of, in Religion, and created mosaic art pieces with construction paper to represent our involvement in one of these communities.
Have a great evening.
Mr. Skinner
