Hello parents. Hope everyone is having a great evening so far. Here is a look at what we did today;

Math

Grade 1

Today in math we continue counting number patterns. We began looking at a number chart on the computer. Students had a chance to come up and click the numbers for each set (10’s, 5’s, and then 2’s). Parents if you are interested in using the number chart, this is the link; http://www.crickweb.co.uk/ks1numeracy.html#100square

As a class we worked together to figure out number patterns on the board. Students were then put into pairs and made their own number pattern (2’s, 5’s or 10’s with snap cubes or counters. In groups, they shared their pattern with another group and have them guess what it is.

Homework:

MMS: pg. 147 – 148

Grade 2

The students are focusing on how to record addition and subtraction stories to 18. We first heard a story problem, and then as a class we focused on the certain steps needed to solve the problem using addition and subtraction sentences.

Homework: MMS – pg. 34-35

UOI

Grade 1

The grade ones continued to work on their timeline project today. We went over the toddler page and I explained to students what they should do and how, and what is expected of them.

No Homework

Grade 2

 Today we looked at local and global foods. Students were then given a flyer for a local grocery store and asked to make a food board that advertised only "local" foods. After we introduced the idea of trading and played a trading game where students split into groups and had to trade livestock such as cows or chicken for peppers and oranges. This game demonstrated how important it is for countries to be flexible in their trading and trade what they have in order to obtain what they don't.

Read Aloud: Flat Stanley

Autumn Worksheet

Grade 1 & 2

As a class we discussed all the things we see, hear, feel, smell in autumn.

The students filled out the autumn activity worksheet. We read a really great book regarding all the changes we see during fall and why. This was a really great activity as it was a fun way to practice learning comprehension.

Language

Grade 1 & 2

The grade 1’s and 2’s were introduced to adjectives today. We read a short Thanksgiving story! On chart paper we wrote down all the words in the story that described words about the person, place or thing. Students listed words describing words as they think about Thanksgiving!
