We are so excited that the Calgary Flames are in the playoffs and to show our excitement, tomorrow we are having Flames Day! Wear any Calgary Flames gear or anything that you have that is red as a way to show our support.
Today in class we played a fun game called HeadBanz to help us with our questioning skills. This game is similar to 20 questions and promotes students to ask good questions to help them gain clues. It forces students to start with broad questions and then move into more specific questions. The students had so much fun and they practiced a life long skill!
In math, we started to learn about how to regroup and trade tens with ones in order to solve a double digit subtraction question. We used blocks as a tool to help us manipulate the numbers and look at numbers in different ways. This method requires us to use our prior knowledge of place value and how numbers can be flexible. For some of us, this was a bit confusing. We will continue to work on this subtraction strategy for the next few days.
Coming up:
