This week we have begun our focus on gymnastics in gym. Today we learned about how to use the equipment safely. Tomorrow students will continue to explore the different stations.
We have started a Beakerhead challenge in room 5. Ask your child about the superhero they are designing.
In math we are learning to estimate sums in different ways. We have practiced 3 strategies:
1) Adding the highest place value (thousands)
2) Change the numbers to the closest thousands
3) Use a number line to add the thousands and hundreds
We have discussed how each estimate is different but that all are valid. Ask your child which strategy they are most comfortable using.
Note: Book orders have gone home today. These are due next Tuesday, Jan. 28th (orders can be placed online)
Reminders:
-Students need to bring their recorder to school starting tomorrow and needs to remain in their backpack
-Bring elastics for gymnastics (if you have long hair)
