Math: We have been working on place value. (Number sense is critical for other stands in math!!!)
We have been working with base ten blocks to represent numbers. This will prepare us for addition (with and without regrouping) and subtraction (with and without regrouping). Please review concept at home. As your child to draw you a specified number using base ten blocks (or find an online manipulative to print), or create a number using the base ten blocks and ask them what the number is. Always ask how do they know? Also have your child practice writing the number in words; and in expanded form. See anchor chart pictures below.
For example : This picture represents the number 256 Using base-ten blocks/ model the number would look like the image below. Using words it would be Two hundred fifty-six. In expanded form it would be 200 + 50 + 6.
The flats = 100
The rods = 10
The units = 1

What we did this week:
We made our Remembrance Day wreath for the assembly using tissue paper to make 3D poppies!
We filled our marble jar! We earned a free period!
We got together with our kindness buddies for the first time this year. Our kindness buddies are Ms. Renée's DD class. We were working on a Remembrance Day art project.
Swim to Survive. We completed our 2nd out of 3 swim to survive classes. This week students learned to swim in deep water wearing a lifejacket; learned to roll into the water wearing a lifejacket (simulate falling into the water); and we learned to tread water (staying in 1 place in the water). We even had time to go down the slide! Our last class will be on Nov 22.
Language: For the Remembrance Day assembly we wrote about what peace means to us. We then recorded our page of the story. Our class story was made into a video for the assembly on Monday.
