What a busy week at school! This week we recognized Twosday (2/22/22), Pink Shirt Day, and our 100th Day of school!
A big thank you to the grade 2/3 classes who hosted our school's Pink Shirt Day! It was great learning about being an upstander and how we can work to reduce bullying.
I Can Recite and Represent the Number Sequence Up to 100 in a Variety of Ways
Students in both grades have been working towards being fluent in numbers up to 100. Some of the things we have been working on are counting from 0 to 100 by 2s, 5s, and 10s. This is an important skill to master and be fluent in as preparation for older grades and multiplication.
Literacy:
This past week we worked on the phonics patterns gl and pl. We took a break from our red words to spend a little more time making sure we are quickly recognizing the ones we've already done.
We've also been working on building our summarizing skills using "Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then" after reading stories. Being able to identify main characters, problems, and important details helps us to develop our oral language and reading comprehension skills.
Ms. Yasin's Math Group
This week in Ms. Yasin's math group, students practiced adding and subtracting multiples of 10 without using their fingers or a number line. Student learned the trick of just subtracting the tens place value and leaving the ones place value the same (when subtracting multiples of 10). For example, with 56 - 20 we can think of it as 5 tens - 2 tens, and then put the 6 ones back for the answer. Their goal is to be able to do this without looking at a 100's chart! Students had fun creating questions for each other to solve.
