Hello Families!
In Math, we are learning about subtraction strategies. We are also learning about how addition and
subtraction are related. The strategies we are practicing are using a number
line or counters to count back, thinking addition, and making a ten to help us
subtract. Learning about fact families has helped us connect addition with
subtraction.
Last week, our third grade buddies visited our classroom to listen
to the story The Mitten by Jan Brett.
After listening to the story, we worked on a mitten art project together.
In Writer’s Workshop, we are working on writing true stories that
really happened to us. During Writer’s
Workshop time, we spend the whole time writing, whether it’s working on writing
words, drawing a picture to match our story, adding to our heart map, adding to
the pictures or words of a piece we’ve already started, or thinking of what to
write next. At the end of each session, students are able to share what they
worked on that day with the class.
Our class is continuing to work on social skills with Mrs.
Boardman. We shared some problems we
have been having at school and categorized them into “bug” problems, “dog”
problems, and “elephant” problems. Then
we used puppets to act the problems out.
Thank you to
families who sent in shared classroom supplies at the beginning of the school
year. We are running low on disinfecting wipes. Any contributions would be
greatly appreciated!
Enjoy the weekend!
Mrs. Carli
