Mar 8

This week in art we created art work inspired by Ted Harrison. We used several types of mediums to create our art pieces.
 

This week in writing, we continued learning about arctic stories and began to independently identify the characters, setting, problem, solution, lesson learned, powerful words and if there was an element of magic. 

In Inquiry we worked in groups to begin creating Arctic food chains and learned about the animals that are important to the Arctic ecosystem and what might happen if an animal became extinct. Then we selected an animal to research and began to gather information about our animal. Soon we will be taking all of the information to create a google slide


In math we used cubes to practice solving double digit problems. Here are a couple of problems you can try at home with your child.

Gwen has 57 marbles. 43 are big and the rest are small. How many marbles are small?

There were 46 nickels in the jar. 11 of them were taken out. How many nickels are left in the jar?

Mike has 90 ribbons and /hop has 24 ribbons. How many more ribbons does Mike have than Hope?
