 Our Learning

Math: In math this week we we continued to practice representing and counting numbers to 100. We spent all week practice representing numbers with ones and tens, with base ten blocks, and in expanded form. We are getting really confident with representing and identifying numbers.

Writing: This week in writing we continued to work on segmenting words into its sounds to be able to read and write words on our own. We are getting more confident at identifying beginning sounds and are continuing to work on hearing the middle and end sounds. 

Science: In science this week we introduced the concept of computer science and coding. We learned that computers have their own language called code and we can use coding to give computers instructions. When we give instructions in the right order we can complete a task or address a problem. We started off easy by coding a Halloween monster to do a dance. 

Social: In social studies we continued to discuss urban, suburban and rural communities. We created booklets to illustrate what these communities look like. 

Gym: In gym this week we got to have our first inline skating lesson. We had so much fun learning about to stand up and get moving! We are looking forward to having our next two lessons!

We coloured and created 2 and 3 element patterns and learned that the "core" of a pattern is the part that repeats over and and over again. We practiced identifying the core of patterns and then labeled them with letters.  Writing: In Writing this week we started to focus on improving the quality of our writing, by making sure we are using tools like personal dictionaries and word walls.

We started learning about the final way we are going to learn to represent numbers, a number line. We discussed how we use clues to figure our where a number should go on a number line. We practiced putting numbers on a big number line as a whole class and we also practiced used a beaded number line to figure out where numbers up to 100 go on a number line! We also started to learn about what it means to add to numbers together and practiced some adding using pictures to help us!

   Our Learning Math:  In math this week we started to learn our numbers all the way up to 100!!! We practiced counting by 1's and 10's and started by making our own 100 chart to help up to know what each number looks like. Our favourite thing in math this week was playing BINGO! It helped us to recognize what numerals all the way up to 100 looked like.                                                            Literacy:  In writing this week we learned about the difference between a letter, a word and a sentence.
