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.
