Thanks for emailing or printing pictures of the way your home is heated! We will be taking a closer look at how homes are heated over the coming days, so you still have time to send in pictures.

Our Learning:
We did a ton of math this morning! Students are focusing on many skills, such as:
Representing our calendar date:
-on ten frames,
-then making an addition equation.
-We then show different ways to represent the equation using a number line. Hope made the equation 20+22 and showed the leaps on the number line. Other students came up with 22+0=22 and 10+10+2=22.
Decomposing Numbers:
We learn about decomposing numbers as a process in Mental math. Breaking numbers down to "friendly numbers" such as 0,1,2,5,10 make it easier to do addition and subtraction in your head!
Fact Families:
Fact families are a great way to show the relationships between addition and subtraction.
All of these strategies are building the way to mental math, and "think addition" when we explore subtraction mental math strategy.
In Science we started some experiments to measure different temperatures like boiling water, cool water, outdoor temperatures and room temperature.
For Homework:
What happened when you put your thermometer in snow? boiling water? cool water? warm water?
