Literacy

Cause and Effect Continued

This week we have continued looking at Cause and Effect in Literacy. 

We read If you Give a Cat a Cupcake by Laura Numeroff and looked at all of the cuase and effect relationships in the story:

We used graphic organizers and paid attention to key words in order to use our levelled literacy books within our literacy groups to identify these relationships.

Number Line Equations

This week we have continued to use the open number line to solve double digit addition problems. 

We can use the number line to solve the same problem many ways. 

We can build both numbers in order to add them together and find a total
We can start with one of the two addends and then jump, skip, and hop to add in the second addend to find a total
We can start with the biggest number and then jump, skip, and hop to add the smaller addend to the larger one. 

Google Slides

We are almost done our Google Slides insect presentations. 

Next week we will be presenting to the class and practising speaking in front of a group. 

This is our Checklist for knowing our slides are complete:
