Marvelous Monday!

We have our exciting trip to Terra Cotta tomorrow. Please:

-Be at the school by 8:30

-Wear gym clothes tomorrow

We began the day having French with Mlle. Stella.

In math, we focused on addition and subtraction. We were first given a question by Ms. Jaskolka, and we solved it as a class:

-       There are 9 people on a train. At the next stop, 4 more people get on.

-       How can we find out how many people are on the elevator now?

o   Add

-       How many people are on the train?

o   9 and 4 more = 13

-       What addition sentence would you write for this story?

o   9+4=13

-       At the next stop, 2 people get off the train. How can you find out how many people are on the train?

o   Subtract – 13-2 =11 – count back 2 from 13

-       What subtraction sentence would you write for this story?

o   13-2=11

-       The train stops again and some people get off. Six people are left on the train. How many got off? How do you know?

o   5 (6 and what is 11? Or subtract 6 from 11)

-       What is the subtraction sentence?

o   11-5=6

After, we worked in our MMS books. We were given addition and subtraction picture stories and we needed to come up with the addition and subtraction sentences. We then came up with our own.

We were then off to physical education with Mr. H.

We then continued with our Math.

After first recess and lunch, we had Music.

When students returned, they began working on their summative project.

After second recess and lunch, we continued working on our summative project.
