Hi room 5 families! How is it already November? We are 5 weeks away from our school wide exhibition. Below are are some of the things we are working on through the week. We painted and decorated pumpkins on Halloween! Each student has picked a super power that they feel like they contribute to our school community. We are working on creating a symbol for our super power and turning it into hero costumes. Parents you can ask your child, "What is symbol?" "What symbol did you create for your power? Why?" We are also working on multiple drafts and learning that there is always room for us to grow and make changes to our working to make it even better. Below we are working on our drafts of our super power symbol. This week we got to visit our high school buddies in their classroom! We were excited to be in a 9th grade classroom at High Tech Media Arts. We have been working on reading just right books to our buddies. In math we are working on making making different combinations of 10 and 20. Here were are playing How many in a cup. We also play a quick game called "show me ___" where students use their fingers to show different ways to make a number. Parents can ask "Show how to make 10." "Can you show me another way?" In math we are also working on adding groups of numbers (this is the beginning of multiplication which students will dive into in 2nd grade). The focus of these problems is for students to add multiple groups and understand why they have specific groups of numbers. Below are two problems that we worked on as a class this past week. Students can practice this skill at home with everyday activities like setting the table "how many forks and knives or chopsticks do we need if there are 4 people eating dinner?".
