Wonderful Wednesday

We began the day having French with Mdm. Stella.

Afterwards, we continued learning about materials and what objects are made of. Ms. Jaskolka looked around the classroom and told us the materiel of an object, and then we needed to figure out what the object was. We then completed a worksheet where we needed to figure out if an object was made of plastic, wood, or metal. We also looked at different objects and answered if they were made of glass, wood, feathers, metal, or fabric.

In writing today, we continued on with the instructions we made for a game. We ensured that our instructions were in order, that we did not leave out any steps, and that we are using transitional words.  

After first recess and lunch, we had physical education with Ms. Lovan.

During math we practiced  “find ten” and “near doubles” strategies to help us count three 1 digit numbers.

Find ten example: 7+3+8

7+3 = 10

10 + 8 = 18

7+4+9

   -1

7+3 =10

10+9=19+1=20

When we use the find ten strategy, the first two numbers we use need to reach 10. We use this strategy because it is easier to add on from 10.

Near doubles:

5+6+4

   -1

5+5=10

10+4=14

8+7+5

   +1

8+8=16

16+5=21-1=20

We use this strategy to help us count faster.

After second recess and lunch, we wrote our homework in our agendas and then practiced for the Christmas concert.
