Arctic Centres

Today we started exploring more about the Arctic. We have ten centres to explore:

1. Arctic Stories 
2. Arctic Maps
3. Landmarks and Symbols
4. Temperature
5. Hot and Cold Sort
6. Transportation
7. Arctic fact non-fiction
8. The Polar Bear Problem: Problems facing the polar bear in the Arctic
9. Animal adaptations in the Arctic 
10. Polar Bear Research

We will use our visual sketch books to complete questions, sketches and important information from each of these centres. Today we completed 1 centre. Ask me what I learned? Ask me what I would like to learn more about? Ask me which centres I explored today. 







Arctic Stories

Today we read "The Raven and the Loon". There are many versions of this story. 




We used our Visual Sketchbooks to draw our understanding of:
-Title?
-Characters?
-Setting and important descriptive (powerful) words or pictures from the setting
-Problem or main event?
-Magical solution or how the problem was solved?
-Lesson or Message from the story?


Math

Today we continued practicing adding 2 double-digit numbers together using a number line. When I add 2 double digit numbers together (for example 23+15) I can start with either number and jump, skip or hop the other one to get to a total. Today we talked about picking the most EFFICIENT number to start with so that my addition can be quicker.
