Then as a class we brainstormed some possible introductions students could write and the steps they needed in order to make hot chocolate. 

Students then wrote their explanations in their journals.

Today students continued to practice the addition strategy adding tens then ones. Students worked on completing pg. 41 in their workbooks. As a class we completed question 2a.

UOI into Cultures: 
Today students read a book about a holiday in Israel called Hanukkah. On Monday they will answer comprehension questions about what they have read.

Day 2 Wednesday December 12

French: https://mmerawansja.blogspot.com

Language:

Today students wrote an explanation in their journals explaining what their holiday traditions are.

 As a class we brainstormed some introductions students might write and some of their traditions that they would like to explain. Students also came up with a couple of sample conclusions.

Students then wrote about their holiday traditions in their journals.

Math:

Today students reviewed the addition strategy adding tens then ones. We did an example together as a class reviewing each step.

Students were asked to choose one number to break down. We said that the smaller number would be easier because their would be fewer ones to add.  

Students then broke the number down into tens and ones (20 and 8). Once we had broken it down  students added the tens (20) to the remaining whole number 28. 

Students learned that when adding these two numbers they are adding two groups of 10 to 46. So as a class we counted 46, 56, 66. 

Since we had already used 20 we crossed it out to see that we only had 8 ones left to add. Students added 68+6 to give them a total of 74.

Day 5 Friday December 7

French: https://mmerawansja.blogspot.com

Language: Today students wrote their spelling test.

Math: Today students worked on the strategy add on tens then ones. 

Students were asked to choose one number to break down. We said that the smaller number would be easier because their would be fewer ones to add.  

Students then broke the number down into tens and ones (30 and 6). Once we had broken it down  students added the tens (30) to the remaining whole number 38. 

Students learned that when adding these two numbers they are adding three groups of 10 to 38. So as a class we counted 48, 58, 68. 

Since we had already used 30 we crossed it out to see that we only had 6 ones left to add. Students added 68+6 to give them a total of 74. 

Students then practiced this strategy on their own in their workbooks answering these problems.
