Today, we had a dental health presentation and learned all about how to keep our teeth clean. Our teachers even got to be teeth. Ask me about what I learned or about my favourite part.
This week in writing we posted our oral stories to IRIS. Please take some time over the weekend to check out your child's work and write a comment. You can use the oral story telling rubric that your child also posted to IRIS to talk about what they did well and what they might change or do differently next time.
This week in math we tried some challenging problems that required 2-3 steps to solve. this required us to think critically about the steps we needed to take and to use multiple equations to determine the correct answer. We found that we had some challenges around determining what operation we needed to use to solve the problem and some of us were not yet sure of our basic addition and subtraction facts to 20. We will continue to work on strengthening our basic math facts and reading word problems carefully to determine what operation we need to use in order to answer the question. See below for a few that you can try at home.
