The kids are on the countdown but I am still working them pretty hard!
As I mentioned in my email last week, we are keeping super busy in 3FM!
Most of our "desk time" this week has been spent working through our place value unit. Students are dong extemely well and can now:
- identify whether a number is in the hundreds, tens or ones place
- identify the value of a digit in a three digit number (eg, the 4 in 245 is worth 40)
- increase or decrease a number by 10 or 100
- write a number in words
- write a number in base ten form
(3 hundreds 2 tens 6 ones)
- write a number in expanded form
( 300+ 20+ 6)
- represent a number using base ten blocks
- determine which number is greater or less than another number
- place numbers in order from greatest to least or least to greatest
Phew! No wonder we have been feeling a little tired over the past ten days! We have been working so hard!
We have focused our writing around Christmas, writing letters to Santa and a paragraph about life in a snowglobe! The students are really finding their voice when writing! I love when their personalities shine through their work!
Our last three days are action packed!
Wednesday- Work, work, skate for the morning! We will finish up our Christmas art in the afternoon!
Thursday- Assembly performance first thing followed by a little bit of work time! No skating!
Friday- PJ day, skating first thing in the morning, party food for a special Christmas brunch, fun Christmas activities, lunch and then movie in the gym!
Thank you to the parents who have been coming out to tie skates and spend time on the ice with the students! We REALLY appreciate your help!!!
I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family the merriest Christmas wishes! I hope your holiday time is filled with love and laughter!
