Welcome Helena to our classroom. Helena has just arrived from Venezuela. Thank you to everyone who made her feel welcome in our classroom.
Math
Our mental math strategy for today was DOUBLES or NEAR DOUBLES and PLACE VALUE.
DOUBLES or NEAR DOUBLES:
29 + 29 The closest number that is easy to double is 30 so.....
30 + 30 = 60 - 2 (because you added two extra) = 58
Try these:
27 + 28
49 + 49
19 + 18
38 + 38
PLACE VALUE
When we use the place value strategy, we add the tens and add the ones, then add them together.
37 + 48
30 + 40 = 70
7 + 8 = 15
70 + 15 = 85
Try these:
67 + 19
38 + 38
47 + 29
Literacy
Today we practiced reading with our group. We need to practice reading productively with our group. Unfortunately we were unable to finish reading because of a wonderful assembly on Terry Fox. We will continue reading tomorrow and finish quizzes.
Terry Fox
What a wonderful story we heard from our friend from "Down Under" (Australia). It is truly remarkable that this Canadian hero is know internationally. Do you agree that Terry Fox should be one of the top 100 athletes of all time? I DO!
Our Terry Fox run is WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th. Remember to bring in toonies and loonies for Terry anytime before or on the day of our run. Together we can help find a cure for cancer.
Today we had our first visit to the library with Mrs. Allen. Make sure you read each evening and return your book next week.
Art
