Tenth Day

We just love Fridays.
We used visualization while listening to a poem called Twinkle Twinkle Firefly. We then drew what we visualized in our heads. We then compared our visualization drawings to the artist's illustration of the poem.

Since today was the tenth day of school, that led to a conversation about the connection between the idea of ten and how ten is constructed in written form.
In math, we played the game of Towers. We took turns drawing a number tile (1-13), built the number, compared our tower to our neighbor's tower. If our tower was taller than our neighbor's tower we removed the difference and that was our winnings for the round. We repeated the steps until all numbers had been drawn. We then began the math chapter on comparing numbers.

Parents should find their child's math test in their homework folder. For comparison purposes here are a few facts. A score of 15 or more qualifies as passing this test. Consistent passing scores are signified by a mark of 3 on the report card. Of the 24 students taking this test from room 11, 3 scored 19, 7 scored 18, 6 scored 17, 3 scored 16, 3 scored 15, and 2 scored 14.

Congratulations to table 4 for accumulating 55 grams. The goal for next week will be 60 grams.
