Math
The T-Shirt Factory!
This week we have read the book Grandma Eudora's T-Shirt Factory:
We have been challenged to look at double digit numbers and triple digit numbers and organize the like Nicholas into Rolls of Ten (tens) and Loosse (ones).
We have used snap cubes to model this visually and have been looking at the concept of Equivalence and Efficiency when breaking apart numbers.
Next week we will create our own T-shirt Factory in groups and use what we have learned to add double digit numbers together using t-charts and stacking. We will also be using base ten materials to model and practice this. Ask me what I am thinking about naming my T-Shirt Factory!!
Today we had the Area Math Specialist into our classroom to learn 2 new Math Games and practice playing them!
Ask me which one was my favorite?
The Water Cycle
We continue to learn about the Water Cycle and have been listening to songs and looking at diagrams and reading books about this important and amazing thing called water!
We have also been learning about the Properties of Matter and investigating Solids, Liquids, and Gases.
We even practiced being water molecules in liquid form, solid form, and gas form! Ask me what that looked like?!
On Wednesday we got to go outside and view a demonstration using water and the air in order to observe water in all 3 of its states!

Arctic Stories
We will be reading many Arctic Stories over the next month. Yesterday we read the story "The Raven and the Loon" by Rachel and Sean Qitsualik
We have been listening and sketching when we hear details about characters, setting, problems, solutions, magic and a message or lesson the story is trying to teach us. This brainstorming will help us when it is time to write our own Arctic Story!
