Highlights

In Math we are looking at the relationship between addition and subtraction.  For example, if you know 5+9=14, then 14-9=5.  In Social Studies we watched a video about a spring festival in Iqaluit called Toonik Tyme to help students gain knowledge and appreciation of different cultures and traditions.  Ms. Van Thiel also came to our class today to help us edit our writing for capital letters, punctuation and spelling.

Homework

-Record any minutes read on your Read-a-thon sheet

-Continue to review spelling words

-Practice your math doubles (e.g., 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, etc.), ten friends (e.g., 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, etc.), doubles plus or minus one strategy (if 8+8=16, then 8+7=15 because it is one less)

Ask me about:

Did your stuffy follow the rules of the school today?

What 3 numbers would make a fact family?  (e.g., 4,5 and 9 because 4+5=9, 5+4=9, 9-4=5, 9-5=4)
