We read the second 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 Cultures
Students continued to learn about Chinese New Year, today they created their own Chinese lantern. They were give 5 pattern rows and they had to chose one pattern from each row to decorate the corresponding section of their lantern.
Examples given
Gym
Inquiry into Math
Students learned how to properly solve word problems. We learned to read each sentence and circle 2 specific things
1. numbers
2. words that tell us to add or subtract
We then used those circled items to solve the word problem given. Students were reminded they needed to use 2 of the following pictures, numbers or words when solving.
Math review - DUE WEDNESDAY
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

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.
