Take a peek into our week!
We started the week off by learning how to add 3 addends to find a total. We learned that another word for addend is number. We tried different strategies, but found the easiest way to add 3 numbers is to group them into an easier fact!
This friend added 5 + 4 to make a total of 9. Then, she was able to add 7 more to get a grand total of 16!
Of course, it is always easiest to find a ten group! Then we know our total will be a teen number.
Next we began exploring double digit numbers on the hundreds grid. But first, we had to do a quick review of ten groups and ones. We were split into groups and given a bin of objects to count- and we had to work together!
We quickly learned that it was easiest -and fastest- to group the objects into ten groups. This helps us stay accurate whe. We are counting.
On Thursday we began using the 100 grid to help us add. We learned that as we go down a column we are adding one, and as we go across a row we are adding 10 more!
We wrapped up the week practicing adding and subtracting 10 from a given number!
Reader's Workshop
This week we added 2 more strategies to our tricky work chart:
We learned that readers need to pay attention to vowel patterns. This helps them make sure the word sounds right in the story. We were on the lookout for some common long vowel patterns in our own books. We recorded them on stricky notes and displayed them!
Try other sounds for letters
As we found words with the 'ea' pattern, we quickly learned that it can make 3 different sounds: long e, short e, and long a! Talk about tricky! That's why it is important for readers to try other sounds when the first way just doesn't sound right!
Word Work
We began looking at R-blends this week. We will continue this into next week.
We also enjoyed Read Across America Day on Monday!
