We have been working with the sentence, "There (are/aren't) enough ones to subtract ____ ones. You (don't have to/have to) decompose a ten." to determine if students are understanding the concept of borrowing. We are working with base ten blocks to physically manipulate numbers and take them apart if necessary. Students must be able to share their thinking and describe what they are doing with numbers and this sentence will be beneficial.
Discussion this afternoon was around jobs that the mama and the papa do while we are at school. This led us into goods and services. We have determined that a good is something that we can see and feel and a service is something done by someone else. Now that we have determined what the words mean we will look at goods and services in Tunisia, Ukraine, Peru and India.
Our mentor text this week is, "Henry's Freedom Box" by Ellen Levine. We have used the story to ask questions before during and after reading, next we will use it for character traits. It is the true story of Henry Brown who mails himself to Philadelphia and freedom from slavery. Our discussion of slavery and the treatment of other people will carry on as we move into Black History Month.
