After recess, we continued to work on adding details to our writing. Students had to choose an item from the classroom. We then used our Detail Cubes to write about this item. The students got a wonderful start with these detail filled paragraphs.
Our afternoon started off with Math Pods. Students began their Math Challenge at the computer station. Using the website Mathletics, students are practicing this week to sharpen their math skills. The students are taking part in a world wide math competition starting next week. I encourage the students to continue the challenge at home as each student has their own sign in and password in their agendas.
At seat work, students worked on choosing which estimation strategy to use, Front End Rounding or Compatible Numbers.
At teacher table, we continued to practice estimation with Compatible Numbers.
Two students also demonstrated the two estimation strategies we are using. They did a wonderful job explaining these strategies.
We finished off our day with a new read aloud: Dear Canada - A Prairie as Wide as the Sea.
