Our Kindness Tree is growing! Please continue to send in any acts of kindness. It would be nice to reach 100 before our winter break.
We will continue our work with addition and subtraction until close to winter break. This week we focused on plus one and using different number strategies. The children will learn how to use strategies such as counting on/back, mental math, using manipulatives, and number lines. The unit will cover plus 1, 2, 3 as well as, minus 1, 2, and 3. The children will also learn their doubles facts. They really enjoyed playing this partner plus one game.
The children practiced using a number line to solve problems with this Promethean board activity.
Mr. Lacy came and did a lesson with the children on different careers.
On Friday we honored veterans. In the morning the entire school gathered and recognized veterans through music. It was a special moment for us all.
When we got back to class, the children watched a short video about Veteran's Day and then wrote about how they honor veterans.
A special thank you to our November Mystery Reader! We enjoyed the visit.
