Go Fish!

This week the students played a math game similar to one they may have played at home. In Tens Go Fish, the students must make combinations of 10 with two cards. They must ask their partner for the 'missing addend' to put with a card they are holding to make a combination of 10. By the end of this math unit, the students will be using a variety of strategies to solve two digit addition and subtraction problems.

What Do Plants Need To Grow?

This is our second week of observing our plants in the classroom. Most of the students already could predict which plant would grow and which ones would not survive. However, as part of our science standards, the students must learn how to use their senses and make careful observations. They also must keep pictorial and written records of their observations. This investigation gives the students much needed practice in these skills.
