We talked today in our class about taking care of ourselves, our things and our classroom. We read the story The Very Busy Beaver, this lighthearted picture book helped us to see the importance of taking care with those around us and also our world.
In Math today students worked on Exploding Numbers. Students chose a number and tried to write it in as many ways as they could. Many of the students chose to work with 4 digit numbers and were able to write the number in words, with base ten blocks, as an equation, and in many other original ways. We will continue to work with numbers this week to deepen our understanding of place value and number.
In Science we began to think about the three R's. Students worked in groups asking questions and writing down what they already know about the three R's. We will continue to work with these ideas tomorrow.
Students were sent home information about our fundraiser this year. We will be selling Entertainment coupon books. Our school goal is to have each person sell at least one book. Please take a look at the information that was sent home today. It is not mandatory to participate, but our school fundraising contributes to things like Quest Theatre, Mathletics and Raz kids for our students.
Question of the Day
What are the 3 R's of recycling? Why do you think they are important?
