We had a lovely recess outside in the fresh air!! Finally!
Our Learning:
- Today, we continued our writing about winter by exploring what we "FEEL" in the winter. We are working to make our writing more descriptive by adding juicy words. Together, we built on our first idea and made our writing more interesting by comparing these three sentences: "In the winter I feel snow." "In the winter I feel cold snow." "In the winter I feel cold snow that falls on my nose."
- In math, we looked at the strategies "subtracting zero" and "subtracting one". We noted that when we subtract zero the answer does not change and when we subtract one it is like counting backwards by one or thinking about the number that comes right before. Students practiced rolling a 12 or 20 sided dice and then printing corresponding -0 and -1 equations.
- We started to compile a list of words that express how we are unique. By reading the story "Cookies", we were able to list positive qualities such as responsible, respectful, helpful, proud, trustworthy, compassionate, generous, fair etc.
- We had gym this morning. Ask me what we started in gymnastics.
- We had a special guest today volunteering, ask me who it was.
F.Y.I.
