In math this week students have been working on demonstrating fluency for addition facts within 20. They have been using strategies such as counting on and making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 14 and 10 + 4 = 14) or 10 + 7 = 17. The students have played addition within 20 bingo games to help with the counting on strategy.
In literacy, students looked at the stories, The Three Snow Bears and Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Jan Brett. They summarized the beginning, middle and end, answered specific comprehension questions in order to demonstrate understanding of key details and compared and contrasted both stories. They completed a venn diagram on the adventures and experiences of characters in each story to demonstrate this understanding.
During Inquiry, students began their journey to Iqaluit and how where we live affects who we are. They looked at a map of Canada and located where Iqaluit is on a map and discussed how they would get there. Through rotations this week, students discussed what they would take and where they would live, what arctic animals they would encounter, and what they would eat when they are visiting Iqaluit. They also discussed how living in Alberta and Iqaluit are different and why.
