Today we had a ketchup day:
- We finished our good copies of our letter to Jan Brett.
- We learned how to address an envelope so that our letter will get where we want it to
- We finished up our Todd Parr art and Mrs. Lagrana will mail it to him over break
- We finished up our Candy Conundrum problem in Math
- We used a rubric of "I can statements" to make sure all details were included in our math work
Elf Bobby Jolly brought us all a present today! Ask me about the magic elf dust and my bell.
In math we created a repeating pattern to decorate our Jan Brett gingerbread door.
We helped our Kindergarten buddies to upload a picture of their work into IRIS and we wrote a comment for them. We like helping our buddies to learn technology!
Today we read the book "A Porcupine in a Pine Tree: A Canadian 12 Days of Christmas" by Helaine Becker and Werner Zimmermann. Mrs. Lagrana has a challenge for us over the winter break! If you read this book (you can pick it up from the library or their are many youtube versions of the story) can you figure out how many things his true love game to him if you count each day and put it all together.
Day 1:
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me 1 porcupine in a pine tree
Day 2: On the second day of christmas my true love gave to me 2 Caribou
Day 3: On the third day of christmas my true love gave to me 3 beaver tails, 2 Caribou and 1 porcupine in a pine tree
Math
Day 1: 1
Day 2: 1+2=3
Day 3: 3+3=
Day 4: 4+6=
Day 5: 5+10=
Day 6: 6+15=
Day 7: 7+21=
Day 8: 8+28=
Day 9: 9+36=
Day 10: 10+45=
Day 11: ???
Day 12???
What is the grand total when you follow the pattern and add it all together?
What strategies did you use to add it all together?
If the song kept going until the 15th day of Christmas what would the total be?
