Thursday

Today we worked on our "problem" for our Arctic Tale. We brainstormed some ideas.

• hungry
• lost
• tired
• no friends

And then we thought of how to use our knowledge of the Arctic and animals to add details.

• seals are hard to catch because they can stay underwater for a long time
• Arctic animals are mostly white (camouflage) so they are hard to see
• some animals migrate hundreds of miles so they could get lost if they don't stay with the group
• if there was a blizzard they might lose their way

Ask me what the "problem" in my story is and what details I added.

In Mrs. Armour's math group, we practiced "doubles" adding and discussed how knowing these helps us with all of our adding (knowing 8+8=16 helps us with 8+9) and practiced adding with dice. 

We also discussed place value 1's, 10's, 100's. 

Try 321 + 9 = 

After Fun Lunch we read with a friend, watched a video about The Bluenose schooner and had library time.
We are learning some facts about the Blue Nose and doing something special for Father's Day. (shhh)

Here is a website to learn even more! We will watch this tomorrow.

For gym we are working on our fitness, so we played a game Ahoy Captain! We had to run to different spots when the Captain yelled, Port/Starboard/Stern/Bow/Clean the Deck/Ship wreck.

Tomorrow is FRESH AIR FRIDAY. The weather might be cloudy or rainy, so thanks for dressing for the weather to be outside - we are going to help with weeding the gardens in the sun circle to get ready for planting next week!
