-Math worksheet (counting money)
-Spelling pg 69-72 and detailed sentences
-Cursive up to pg 66
-Food drive donation (Jan 19-26)

After we went over Raz-kids revisiting how to answer the constructed responses and what to do if we get multiple choice questions wrong. We also went over the most stars earned by students so far.
In first is Aydan, in second is Jad, in third is Esha.

Then we had PE with Ms. Yustin.

For math today we looked at estimating, counting, and writing amounts of money up to ten dollars. We also practiced a few going over with the big bills!

First students were able to explore counting on their own.

After they were able to tell me that we have to sort the coins in order to count them, then count the dollars, and then count the cents. Students also explained that with their partner one of them counted the bills and the other counted the coins. Great teamwork!

Then, we went over as a class what to do if our coins exceeded 100 cents. IT BECOMES A DOLLAR.

We practiced how to group coins such as 1,2,5,10, and 25 cents into dollars and add the values.
We then learned how to record our answers in different ways.

4 cents could be $0.04 or 4 ¢. We modelled how to draw a dollar sign and a cents sign. 

Students have to be careful not to write 0.04¢. 

Then we had first lunch and recess.

After we did spelling and cursive.
This weeks spelling words:
1. apple
2. handle
3. able
4. bottle
5. table
6. uncle
7. candle
8. purple
9. turtle
10. people

We are looking at words with 'le' spelling at the end always have at least two syllables, as in
'apple.' We identified how words like tunnel and funnel sound like our rule this week but don't fit.

Then we had music with Mr. Oliver and French with Mme. Stella.

After second recess we practiced our speeches!

Then finished off with a show and share of some cultural artifacts.

Then we got ready for home. :)
