Addition using Base Ten and T-Charts:
This week we continued to look at double digit numbers and adding them together using base ten materials and t-charts. In groups we came up with a name for our own t-shirt factory and then we were give our first order! We had to take 2 double-digit numbers and organize them within a t-chart and then add these numbers together to get a total.
We used place value mats and base ten materials to build the first number.
We then had to put the numbers together, starting from the ones to get a total nummber:
Once we had a total we were encouraged to proove if our answer was accurate by solving another way.
Ask me to show you how I solve these types of problems at home on a scrap peice of paper or notebook:
16+13
53+32
25+62

This week we continued to practice summarizing Non-Fiction text. We worked in groups to practice summarizing before we read using text features such as title, pictures, and headings to help us make a prediction about what the main idea was going to be about.
We then Read the article, paying attention to SUPPORTING DETAILS and KEY WORDS within the article and made note of these in our graphic organizers:
Please read the article your child brings home in their Home Reading bag or Home Communication folder and have them read it and complete the summarizing graphic organizer attached.
Liquids

Today we made our very own water cycle bag! Ask me about the steps of the water cycle and what would happen if the water cycle STOPPED.
Tape it to a window in the house facing the sun and watch the water cycle happen!
The importance of Clean Water:
We even got to do an experiment about cleaning dirty water. We got to try out a filter to see if it would keep sand or gravel out of the water:
