READING and WRITING
This week due to the special events, we have some fun reading and writing activities. On the 101 day of school, we will imagine ourselves being 101 years old! We will write about how we think we will look like, do, or not do. I can't wait to see what the children will come up with. It should be lots of fun to read their writing. In relation to Valentine's Day, we will write an imaginative story about a time that we ate too much chocolate! We will also craft a sweet, heartwarming writing about "love".
MATH
This week we will go back and review "Place Value". We will use concrete and pictorial models and compose and decompose numbers to 99 in more than one way. For instance, the number 45 can be shown with 4 ten blocks and 5 ones. But it could also be represented as 3 ten blocks and 15 ones. We will use the place value to compare whole numbers up to 99 using comparative language such is greater than or less than. We will use symbols such as >, < or = to compare the numbers to 99.
SCIENCE
Last week in science we learned about natural resources. This week we will discuss how important natural resources are to us and why we need to conserve natural resources, reuse, recycle or reduce. The students will think about why it is important to conserve fresh water, recycle materials and not to pollute the environment.
