Global Read Aloud

We finished reading "The One and Only Ivan" on Friday and the class was a little sad to say goodbye the novel.  We have continued to Skype other classes to discuss the novel and the students are excited to learn more about endangered species and mankind's impact on the environment.

The One and Only Ivan

The students continue to be captivated by the novel The One and Only Ivan.  We have had some great discussions and the students have contributed some excellent responses to our Edmodo page.
Below is a "linoit" canvas we created together on our thoughts regarding the death of a character.

Math

We have now finished our unit on Patterning and have moved on to a unit on Place Value.  The class is using Base 10 materials

to help compose numbers and develop a better understanding of how numbers are formed.  We will move on to addition and subtraction in the next couple of weeks.  Please take the time to help review mental facts to 20 (i.e. 7+6, 2+9, 11-5, etc.) with your child.  We will be working with three and four digit numbers and if students are quickly able to recall math facts, they will find it easier when adding and subtracting larger numbers.
