All About Families
This week we focused on our Scholastic News topic, which was all about families! The Scholastic News focused on different types of families in the animal world. We learned about elephant herds, interesting insects and even animals that adopt other animals!
Math
There are so many different ways to make addition equations that equal 10. We played a fun game with our elbow partners called shaking addition. We used counters to determine equations that added up to the sum of 10!
Writing
This week we added DRAMA to our stories! We started by acting our stories out to a partner. Then, we went back to our seats and added those new actions to our stories by adding juicy details! Our writing is really progressing!
Buddies
We love learning with our fifth grade buddies! This week we played a making the sum of ten math game. We used a deck of cards to find two numbers that equaled the sum of ten. Playing this game with our buddy was really fun!
Real World Experience
This week we had a ton of fun doing our Real World Experience for math. We played games outside and spent unifix cubes in order to play each game. Some games cost more to play than others. We had to figure out how to spend our 10 cubes. Next, we will make a graph from the data we collected, and find out which activities were the most popular!
Top Dog
Our Top Dog this week was David! He shared his marble collection! He also told us that he loves going to Ohio. David's favorite foods are pizza, ice cream and cake!! Thanks for sharing, David!
