The End to Another
Busy Week!!
This week has been quite eventful! We have
been busy in reading, writing, and math! This week we discussed President’s Day
and Valentine’s Day in addition to our regular schedule!
In Lead 21, we continued talking about Earth’s
Natural Treasures. We added to our web of knowledge. Check it out below:
This week we discussed “making connections”
and 3 different ways to connect what we are reading in school to our own lives:
Text to Self: Is when we relate what we are reading to an experience we
remember in our own lives.
Text to Text: Is when we relate what we are reading to another book that we
have read!
Text to World: Is when we relate what we are reading to a
vacation we took, a movie we watch, or something we saw on the internet.
In addition to this comprehension strategy, we
learned that ANTONYMS are when two words have opposite meanings. An antonym is
the opposite of a synonym. Here are some of our examples that we came up with
this week:
up
down
big
small
hot cold
In math, we are constantly learning new
strategies to make us more proficient in adding and subtracting. This week, we
continued our practice with adding “doubles.”
We know that 2+2=4 and that 3+3=6. Our new
strategy is that sometimes we can look at our doubles facts to help us learn
that doubles + 1 equals 1 more. For example:
3+3=6 SO… 3+4=7
4+4=8 SO... 4+5=9
5+5=10 SO… 5+6=11
