Highlights:
- Math: the students who went to the portables worked on number families - finding the addition sentences with sums from 1-10. The students from room 1 worked with blocks to create number sentences that added to a given sum. The students who stayed in room 2 worked on near doubles (i.e. __+__= 5 ... the answer would be 2+3=5) which added onto the skills of doubles facts.
- Word Work: the grade 2s worked on sentence dictation while the grade 1s did independent reading.
- English Language Arts: we learned about how to make a story map. We read a couple of stories and had discussions about how to start stories with an opening sentence, how to describe the setting and characters, the purpose of a "kickoff", problem and events before creating an ending. We will be creating Arctic stories soon!
