Terrific Tuesday!

We began the da having French with Mdm. Stella.

We then move onto UOI. We discussed the importance of a frame to help support an object. We looked at a frame for a tent and discussed how the poles help to support the tent. We also talked about the different materials a tent can be made from; nylon, mesh, and plastic. We then looked at a frame for a car and then a house. After, we defined ‘structure’: the support frame of an object. We have begun a book of definitions so that we are able to understand all of the important words through out our unit. We defined material: what the object is made from; object: a thing; structure: the support frame of an object.

After, we were off to Art with Ms. Kerr.

Following second recess and lunch, we began our new Math unit: Exploring Addition and Subtraction. We looked a picture in the Big Math Book of people at a fair. We discussed various addition and subtraction stories that we could come up with. After, we discussed various addition and subtraction strategies that we can use: counting on/back, look for doubles and near doubles, using fact families. We did some examples as a class and then moved on to working in our Math books.

After, we wrote an assessment for Ms. Jaskolka so she can better understand how to teach us about writing into the second term.

When we were finished, we began our new novel study, Freckle Juice. We made predictions about the book today:
I predict that Freckle Juice is about…
I predict that Freckle Juice will…

At the end of the day, we practiced for the Christmas concert. We worked together to decide the actions that we will have in our song.

Homework:
1.     Read for 20 minutes
2.     Last page of report card

3.     Lunch forms due Dec. 16
