In art we have been exploring how artists use lines in their work to show different things. Sometimes the lines portray an energy or sometimes the lines create perspective, allowing us to perceive things as farther away. Here are some of the works of art we looked at:
Roy Lichtenstein, Brushstroke, 1965
Charles Sheeler, Classic Landscape, 1931
Part of our work has been to experiment in making different types of lines (curvy, zigzag, castle, loopy, thick, thin, etc.). This week we took our papers and started adding watercolours to help make the lines pop out.
I Can Represent Numbers in Different Ways
This week in math, we worked with Rekenreks and ten-frames to demonstrate our understanding of teen numbers. We played a game where we used a spinner to pick a number and then one partner used the Rekenrek and the other built the numbers on ten-frames. Using Rekenreks and ten-frames helps us to build and deepen our conceptual understanding of a base ten number system. The alignment and different colours of beads help us notice patterns (counting by 5s and 10s) that will help us to become fluent in strategies for mentally adding and subtracting.
Literacy:
This week our phonics focus was the letters o (short vowel sound) and d.
We also added the words "as" and "said" to our list of practiced high frequency words (HFW).
