****I am still in need of Volunteers for this upcoming Wednesday afternoon from 1-3. We are so lucky to have Teacher's Pet coming in to teach us how to carve soapstone. We are so excited to make polar bears. It is a lengthy process and will run much smoother with some volunteers. Please email me if you are able to come: imlagrana@cbe.ab.ca
Science/Social
Today we decided on one Arctic animal that we want to research about. We practiced doing research all together from an article about Polar Bears. We used highlighters to show the important info that we needed to answer the research questions. Later in the week we will research our arctic animal of choice. Ask me which one I am doing.
Math
In math we continued working on using an open number line and subtraction strategies to solve the different ages Carlos's family members would have been when Carlos was born. Ask me how I know if a question is a subtraction question. We also learned a new strategy for subtraction.
54-8 could be solved by making the 8 a 10 and subtracting 10 from 54 as subtracting 10 is easier once we know how to count back by tens. Then 54-10=44 ****We must remember to add 2 back to our answer because we actually only subtracted 8! So 44+2=46.
PRACTICE ONE AT HOME
63-8=??
We also read the book Hide and Sneak by Micheal Kusugak and watched a video about the importance of Inuksuk's to the Inuit people. We practiced building some with our own rocks too. Ask me what I build with my group and what kind of an Inuksuk it was? What would it's purpose have been in the Arctic?
