 Our Learning

This week was our last week with Mr.Orr. We are all very sad to see him leave, but we are so excited for him to start his new adventure as a teacher and know that he will be an amazing teacher! 

Math: In math this week we started learning about how to solve word problems. We learned how it is important to identify the important numbers and the math word that helps us figure out whether to add or subtract. Also did a really fun adding and subtracting Tetris game that Mr. Orr created! 

Writing/Science: This week in writing we worked on a project to show the learning we have been doing in science. We have been learning about prairie and mountain habitats and the types of plants and animals that exist there. We learned that the plants and animals that live in the mountains need to be able to survive cold weather, and that the plants and animals in the prairies need to withstand little moisture/water. In writing we created and wrote a booklet to share some of this learning. 

Gym: In gym we have started our gymnastics unit and have been having so much fun learning all about ways to move and balance our bodies. We have been practicing rolls, hopes, leaps, bridges, and much more. Next week we are excited to get to use the climber and more of the gymnastics equipment (tressels, ramps etc).

   Our Learning Math:  In math this week we started revisiting patterns! 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 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!

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!
