Math
This week in math we continued our work with the operation of subtraction. Students practiced with number stories that included picture representations. We also began to draw comparisons between addition and subtraction. We noticed the relationship between the two operations as we worked with number bonds. The same numbers could be used, but when arranged differently we got a different result!
Reading and Phonics
This week we began looking at blends during our phonics time. Blends are two consonants that work together but each produce their own sounds; e.g. "bl" or "cl". All of the blends we focused on this week contained the letter "L". The students practiced sorting, matching, and identifying the blends at the beginning of words.
Writing
We continued to work on our "How-To" unit this week with many students focusing on their own unique topic. Each day they carefully draw and write to represent a specific step. We have been working on really breaking down the task they are teaching.
