After agendas we reviewed our spelling words and talked about the letter sounds and how to figure out how to spell a bonus word if we know the letter sounds!

Then we had PE with Ms. Yustin.

For math today we looked at estimating, counting and making change again

We practiced counting on...

We also used a visual way to help us.
This is the step by step on the front of the package.We did this together.

First we drew the coins as the note we are paying and the last dollar should be drawn in coins the best choice is to draw it out as nine dimes, one nickel and five pennies. We drew eight dimes, two nickels, and five pennies.

Then we circled the cost of the t-shirt in coins.
What ever was left over is the change.

We then worked on our worksheets.

Check out this video. The currency is in American coins but the concept is what we have been learning.

After we had first lunch and recess.

Then we worked on math a little bit more and spent some more time working on our worksheets.

Then we practiced our speeches and went to French with Mme. Stella. Check out her blog, link is at the top of the page.

After second recess we had UOI. Today for UOI we had our novel study 'Horrible Harry and the Holidaze' and we finished reading chapter 2 and learning about Three Kings Day.

Before reading we recapped chapter 1. Then we read chapter 2. After we did a retell of chapter 2. Students explained and we wrote down.



1. Who celebrates Three Kings Day
2. When is it celebrated?
3. What is celebrated?
4. How do they celebrate it?

Students were asked to record their answers independently and will be finishing their comprehension sheet tomorrow.

After we tidied up and got ready for home.
