Highlights

We have been busy this week.  Here are some of the things we have been doing…

-We painted and completed an addition doubles page in our creative journal.

-We are learning to use addition doubles to help solve other addition facts (e.g., if 4+4=8, then 4+5=9 because it is one more).

-We finished our class story about a gingerbread kid in Panorama Hills School.  Ms. Bain typed the story and we each illustrated our own copy.

-We had DEAR day on Wednesday (Drop Everything and Read).  Three times during the day there was an announcement and everyone in the school had to stop what they were doing and read.  Students may record 30 minutes of reading time on their tracking sheet for this day.

-We measured the temperature in 3 different places and talked about the concept of positive and negative numbers on a thermometer. 

-We worked on some art for the winter concert next week and we practiced our concert song.

-We played basketball in gym.

-We learned about what the land is like in Iqaluit.
