Terrific Tuesday

We started our day off working hard at learning tubs. Some of us practiced counting and graphing, other were working with manipulates and breaking numbers apart, and others were being creative with Plasticine, pipe-cleaners and popsicle sticks (still a current favourite) and some worked hard at writing about what they did during the crazy snow storm on the weekend.

Our task today was to break apart the number 7 into its number pairs using blocks. We started with Ms. Taylor showing us different number of blocks and then covering some of them. We had to figure out how many were hiding and how we knew. To practice this skill we started by breaking up 7.  We used green and blue blocks to make 7 in different ways. Some examples are 5 and 2, 7 and 0, and 3 and 4. Ask your child what pairs they found!

We finished our day with phys. ed with Ms. Nanavaty.. We are practicing our dribbling skills and had lots of fun!

Ms. Taylor read us a book called Rosie Revere, Engineer. It was all about building new things out of old things, and not giving up. Rosie figured out she could learn from her flops and they were not failures.
