In math today we focused on finding our own subtraction strategies. We had a problem and we had to figure out ways to use subtraction. Some of us even used addition as a strategy and we got the right answer. We had a round of Math Daily 3. Many students are choosing a variety of games to practice their addition and subtraction. We also looked at two strategies to subtract 2 and 3-digit numbers. One was using a number line and counting up. The other strategy was using the tower method, where we subtract the ones first and then the tens. We also tried trading.
We are now reading the book Auggie& Me: Three Wonder Stories. The first story is written in Julien's perspective. It is really interesting to see the rest of Julien's family and how they deal with issues.
In our science inquiry things are beginning to heat up. Not on Mars of course because it is pretty cold there but in our sessions in class. The water filtration group are finishing up their water filters and are close to being able to test them. In the structures group, we are finishing up our floor plans and we have started thinking about what materials that we will need to build our structures.
In gym, we continued working on our fitness and our endurance. We are up to 40 seconds in our 30 Day Plank Challenge. It is definitely getting harder but we can do it!
1.) Friday we have an assembly so we may not be outside for as long.

What do you think about Julien's mom in the story Auggie and Me? How is she and Julien alike? Different?
Well I think Julien's is kind of mean because she doesn't give August a chance. I think they are alike because they both don't like August. Why I think they are different is because Julien doesn't get so over crazy as his mom does.

The mom gets worried and Julien does not. - Lexi
ReplyDeleteI think that Julien's mom would do anything for Julien. They are alike because they both don't really like August. The mom does mean things sometimes but when Julien does, he is just trying to be funny.
