- In math, we have been practicing making numbers using base ten blocks. This week, we read the book:
- And talked about how numbers could also be represented as two addends. We worked on making 11 using 2 addends, making 12 using 2 addends and 13 using 2 addends. We put our work into a table so that we could see the relationship between the 2 addends. Our work looked like this:
- Ask your child to share what they notice about the columns in the above pictures.
- In art and writing, we have been working on understanding ourselves as a leaner as well as completing a self-portrait. Ask your child to share what they need in order to learn (sitting away from friends, etc.).
- In science, we are beginning a research project into seasonal adaptations and changes in plants and animals. We have also been working on our technology skills. We have practiced logging onto a laptop, using a mouse, locating a website and using search bars. Ask your child to share what they have learned about animal hibernation and migration.
- We had high school reading buddies today!

- Looking for an at home project? Our class will be beginning a stop-motion animation project to show their learning in science. To help with this project, we need iPad stands to hold the iPad still while we manipulate our objects. If you are able to make this iPad stand at home: Easy iPad stand instructions and donate it to the classroom, that would be amazing! We would need stands by Monday, March 9th.
