Tremendous Thursday!
We began the day reading The Day the crayons Quit. We began the
story with a boy named Duncan at school looking for his crayons, but instead of
finding his crayon he found a whole bunch of letters!!!!! These letters were
from each crayon in his crayon box. Each crayon wrote a letter explaining why
they chose to quit. This was a very fun and silly book and it also taught us
more about letter writing!!!!!
Next we had French.
When we came to class we had police
officers visit our class!!! They found out that our last unit of inquiry was
about learning how to be a good citizen so they wanted to congratulate us very
being such good citizens and explain how they help the community. We had so
much fun with our visitors!
Then we had gym.
After first recess and lunch we had Music.
When students returned, we dove into math.
We reviewed how to use a place value mat and the standard algorithm to add two
digit numbers. We then moved onto subtraction using the place value mat and
standard algorithm.
We first worked on some subtraction problems as a class:
After we worked in partners to solve two
digit subtraction problems using the standard algorithm and the place value
mat.
At the end of the day we reviewed the book
we read in the morning, The Day the
crayons Quit. We then talked about the important parts of a letter and some
examples of opening, topic, body, and closing sentences we could write related
to our story. We had so much fun pretending to be Duncan and writing to the
crayons!!! Tomorrow we will be drawing pictures to the crayons based on our letter
to them!!
