When you add ten to a number

Work continued in math today with adding ten to a number.  What happens to the value of the tens place?  What is the largest digit you can have in the tens place?  This work is important since it will lead us into borrowing and carrying larger numbers.

Finding Winnie by Lindsay Mattick is the true story of Winnie The Pooh - ask your student what they learned about the famous bear from this book.  We read the story and were totally amazed about all the things that we didn't know but the biggest was that Winnie was a real bear and Canadian!!  We will be using the story for several days in our classroom.

We sorted all our Earth Materials today and discovered that mostly we had collected soil.  We compared it to the poem we started with and found we had a lot of the same items.  Next we will be collecting soil samples from around the school.

Walking stories due tomorrow for those wh took them home.
