A Chilly Week!

Student Word Goals for the New Year!

Opinion Writing

Students were introduced to a graphic organizer called, "OREO".  This is a format used when writing about an opinion.  0 - Opinion
                              R - Reason
                              E - Examples
                              0 - Opinion

Afterwards, they had to share their opinions about OREO cookies.  There may have been a celebration with OREO cookies afterwards.  We will continue this type of writing throughout the week.  

Nunavut

We read a special book called, "Hide and Sneak" by Michael Kusugak.  This is a story about a little girl who wanders too far into the Tundra, and discovers that an Inukshuk is a landmark that symbolizes home.  

Math

We continued to practice double digit addition without regrouping.  We focused on completing our questions by stacking the numbers on top of each other.  Tomorrow we will begin to look at questions that require regrouping.
