May 30 - June 3rd.
We had a wonderful week together as we entered into the month of June. Here is a snippet of our week.
I can learn on, from and with the land. I can use my senses to be mindful of the world around me. I can make observations about the world around me and the creatures that call it home.
Prior to our community walk this week, we enjoyed the beautiful book, Everybody Needs a Rock by Byrd Baylor.
We then used this book as inspiration and each student wrote their own rules for finding, choosing and enjoying their own rocks. Here is a sample:
We then took our rules and headed out for an afternoon exploring the riverway along the Elbow River and rock collecting and enjoying the surroundings.
Look at the example below, what is the pattern name?(use letters)
4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6
AABBC
Number Patterns can also grow. The rule for this pattern is +1
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Ms. Yasin's math group worked hard on their subtraction skills this week! They focused on subtraction word problems where visualizing the questions was helpful to understand why subtraction was needed to solve it. Then students had a chance to write their own word problems! The group finished off the week with learning something new and exciting: regrouping!! They learned that regrouping happens when we add two numbers together and there are enough ones to exchange for a ten, so that we can group the new ten with the other tens we have! Students were very curious while doing this using place value and base 10 blocks. They enjoyed it so much that they had a chance to learn how to regroup via the algorithm strategy as well! Everyone should be incredibly proud of themselves for all their hard work and learning this week!
