Reading

During our reading time we read the book Me and My Family Tree. We made predictions before the story to guess what a family tree is. Among some of the guesses was that a family tree is a tree where your family has a party and it is a tree where people live. After reading the story though we learned that it was just like a map, but instead of showing us where we live it shows everyone in our family. Some of us were even able to describe our own family trees. To go along with our story we made a Family Book. Inside we wrote/drew pictures of our family, where we live, our favorite things to eat with our families as well as our favorite things to do with our families.

Math

In math this week we have continued to study how numbers are put together and taken apart. We have been using a whole, part/part mat to show our work while figuring out the story problems. This practice will help us when we begin to do addition and subtraction. Some of us are already picking up on this as well. We have been working with patterns in counting such as counting by 1's and now counting by 10's. Counting by 10's is tricky for some of us so continue to practice. We searched for missing numbers in a number line, raced to the finish by identifying teen numbers, stamping teen numbers and completing puzzles.
