Students continued to present their speeches, students were given feedback in their speech packages. Please be sure to send the speech package for each check in, in order to receive feedback. We will continue tomorrow due to time constraints.
Inquiry into Cultures
Students continued to learn about Chinese New Year by reading a passage and answering comprehension questions.
Today we also read the first chapter of our novel study
Once the chapter was read we worked as a class how to properly answer the questions in sentence form. As a class we wrote each questions template and students were responsible for filling in the information.

Inquiry into Math
Students learned a math strategy for SUBTRACTING double digit numbers today. You break apart the second number into tens and ones.
Ex.
Math review
Related facts - 2 addition and two subtraction needed Ex.
6,4,10 = 6+4=10, 4+6=10, 10-6=4, 10-4=6
Standard Algorithm - standard procedure for adding and subtracting using carrying over and borrowing.
Adding using base ten
› Step 1 – make your first number
› Step 2 – make your second number
› Step 3 – add!
› *start at the ones
› **do you have more than ten? Yes – trade in 10 ones for a 10 rod
› *** do you have more than ten tens? Yes – trade in 10 ten rods for a 100 flat
› Step 4 – write your answer
Subtracting using base ten
› Step 1 – make your first number
› Step 2 – take away your second number
› *start at the ones
› **do you have enough ones? No – trade in a 10 for 10 ones
› ***do you have enough tens? No – trade in a 100 for 10 tens
› Step 3 – write your answer
Estimating the sum using round- have them write it out next to the problem like below and add/subtract
516---------500
+194---------200
_____ ______
600 or 700 700
Agenda
- Memorize speech and begin to add actions
- Math unit test next Thurs. Review home
- Cursive to page 70 due Next Friday
- Bring back your re-registration packages for grade 3!
- Fine Art – Cultural Artifacts
In our current unit, we are learning about a range of cultures from around the world. For an in-class artwork assignment we want to use an artifact (from our own cultural background) and use our fine art skills to ‘draw what you can see’.
We kindly ask that your child brings in an artifact from their culture to sketch. This artifact should be able to comfortably fit on your child’s desk.
Artifacts can include but are not limited to the following:
- Mask
- Pottery
- Dolls/Figurines
- Coin
- Religious artifact (eg. icon)
- Jewelry
Please bring your artifact by Tuesday, January 14th.
Artifacts will be returned at the end of this unit in January.
Many thanks,
Ms. Hughes & Ms. Coldwells
