This morning we had another photography lesson with Ms. C. We learned about how patterns, shapes, light, shadow, and line are important for taking really interesting photographs. Then we went to try to take pictures that included these elements. Then she talked to us about perspective. Perspective means that things close up look bigger and things that are far away look smaller. We tried taking pictures that showed different perspectives.
In math we went to our grade 1 and 2 groups to work on addition and subtraction skills. The grade 1's are using dominos to practice 1-digit addition facts and are learning to record their facts correctly. The grade 2's worked on learning to "explode" numbers so that we can see all the hundred's, ten's and one's. (This is also called expanded form).
For sharing today Jessica brought in her guinea pig named Snowball. He is VERY cute!
This afternoon, we worked on adding more details to our dioramas. We started adding babies and food. We are using a target to help us remember all the pieces our diorama needs to include.
In music we had a guest teacher named Mrs. Dorren. We sang some of our songs to her. In gym we worked on our skipping skills outside. Some of us tried skipping on our own and some of us tried using the long ropes and skipping with a group.
