Math: We started the addition strategy of adding ten to a number. (When 10 is added to a number, the tens-place digit increases by 1.) We have been using our “100 chart” to aid in solving these equations. We are also reviewing place value concepts each day during calendar activities. We have started subtraction in some closed word problems.
Language Arts: We started procedural writing where we use transition words of first, next, then, and last. We will add more transitional words as we practice over the next few weeks. We watched a video of how to make an ice cream sundae and then wrote the steps. Students need to think about who their audience is and make sure that they can follow the instructions given.
Raz-Kids

student skills improve, I may change the level that they are reading at on
Raz-Kids. Please let me know if your child gets frustrated with the new level,
and we can make further changes.
Social Studies: We started learning about mapping skills.
Science: We are reading stories and poems about colour and winter for the new units.
