Updates this week
Literacy
QUESTIONING
For the next few weeks we will be learning about asking and identifying thick and thin questions while we read.
There are two types of questions, thick or thin. Thin questions are usually easier to answer, and don't require a lot of critical thinking. Thick questions are usually difficult to answer, as they usually have more than one answer, and require us to think deeper about our answer and use our schema to answer our questions.
Melting and Freezing
This week we have been focusing on WHAT is HEAT and WHAT is TEMPERATURE.

We have been talking about melting and freezing which relates to the states of matter and their molecules.

In math we have been adding past 100 and seeing what happens when we have ten 10's! We have been totaling inventory for our T-Shirt Factories so that when orders start coming into our store and we start selling our T-shirts we can keep track of how many we have left.
We have also been practicing adding 3 numbers together instead of only two.
Here are some math websites you can use to practice at home.

SOAPSTONE CARVING
We were so lucky to welcome Teacher's Pet into our classroom this week to get some instruction practicing carving soapstone. Soapstone carving is a traditional Inuit Art. We practiced sanding, rasping, smoothing, curving, and finally oiling our creation. Ask me what the hardest part was?
So much fun!
