Math
This week in math we have been practicing breaking apart whole numbers up into parts.
We practiced by doing this together as a class, and then going off together and doing the questions ourselves using the number bond models. After we were finished that we got to practice it using blocks, by representing the different parts of the whole number with different colors.
By becoming comfortable with knowing how to break apart our whole number into parts/number bonds, it helps us be able to move with more independence and knowledge into addition questions.
Today, we challenged ourselves by breaking apart double-digit numbers. While we were doing this we made sure to find the sneaky 5's and 10's first, as these are numbers that can help us add more efficiently.
Collage Covers
Today we finished creating our all about me collage. We had to choose pictures from magazines that reflected our likes and dislikes. We covered our paper with these pictures. We will then brainstorm words that describe us to add to our collage:
I AM:
Friendly
Kind
Funny
Athletic
Smart
Sporty
Creative
Happy
Daughter
Sister
Brother Son
Happy
This will then be laminated and be the front cover to our Visual Sketch Books which we will use all year to document our learning journey in Grade 2!
Printing Practice
This week we practiced printing two simple sentences on Grass, Ground and Sky paper to help us see where our letters should be sitting on the lines.
We will contine practicing this method to ensure that our upper case and lower case letters are being formed correctly, used appropriatley and that we remember to use finger spaces between each word.
This will not only make our printing neat and oraganized, but it will help us read our writing back when we are sharing and allow others to read our writing more easily.
