This week we have continued our focus on subtraction strategies. We have practiced traditional algorithm, pictures, jump, and decomposing. Today we specifically looked at subtracting from 100, and a new strategy 99+1. Students found that using a strategy like 99+1 or decomposing was easier to compute in their head than the traditional algorithm.
In Language Arts, students have been creating Social Stories. These are stories that connect to our learning in Health. All stories tell about a difficult real-like situation, such as not making a team you try out for. The stories then show the main character dealing with the difficult situation in a positive way. In Science, students are almost finished their Diary of an Animal stories. We will be shifting our focus to Social Studies next week. All students now have an activated Raz Kids account, under the teacher username rosscarrock2. Raz Kids is a great home reading tool that I highly recommend implementing it as a daily reading program! Reminders: -spelling test tomorrow -walk and talk tomorrow -Future Day tomorrow! :) Mrs. Rowein
