The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins is our mentor text in math this week. Through the story we encounter division. The story starts with 2 children ready to share 12 cookies when additional friends and family begin to arrive to share the cookies. Little mathematicians are retelling the story using pictures, numbers and words and generating a different ending to the story when grandma arrives with more cookies. I am looking for little learners who understand the concept of sharing and can explain what each number represents in their story.
Bill Nye helped us to create a DID YOU KNOW about structures. In the video we found out some great new information such as buildings and bridges are built to sway about 1 metre in high winds! Ask your little learner what they thought was most amazing!
We should be ready to start building with all those recyclables you have been saving the week of April 18- toilet paper rolls, shoe boxes, cracker boxes. etc. will be needed. The more the merrier.
