Number Concepts & Waste and our World

9/15/2017

     In math this week we started off by each student writing their “Mathography” to let me know about themselves as a mathematical learner and their past experiences in the classroom.  We also started working on numeration concepts in class.  We watched a video called “Number Sense” which was a great overall review for students, and then played the game “Place Value Pick."  We also worked on modeling numbers.  We made three-digit numbers using the base-ten blocks and then modeled the same number with more blocks. Students learned and played two games called "Stuck in the Mud" and "Let It Roll."  Both are good games to practice those basic facts in addition (I've attached the rules below if you want to play at home!).

     In science we started our first topic “Waste and our World.”  Students listened to the book Just a Dream by Chris Van Allsburg which conveyed the message of how important it is to take care of our Earth. In this story, Walter is careless with his trash and scoffs at planting trees to help the environment. Then he has a dream that takes him to the future where he discovers an Earth that's uninhabitable due to air and water pollution. When he wakes up from his dream, he realizes the importance of taking care of our planet and home.  Students were able to look at and read other related books stored in the classroom on our new topic.  We also discussed the 3R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle) and brainstormed ways to reduce & reuse in our daily lives and with everyday objects. 
​Have a great weekend!
