Today we...

-worked on our Daily 5 centers:

• Reading to self with a visualization to help show our understanding when reading
• Reading with a partner and discussing what happened in the book or what information we get
• Word work - we played word games to help us spell the words of the week (une question, qui, quoi, est-ce que, chaque, la musique). If we already know how to spell these words, we found other words with the 'qu' sound to practice with our games
• Listening to reading - We are listening to the story  'L'incroyable invention de Félicio'. We have to listen for the characters, the setting, the problem and the solution.
• Reading with Mme Kelly - we practiced guided reading with our teacher. We are focusing on decoding this week and Mme Kelly is checking which grade 2 sounds we know and which ones we need to improve.

-worked on our place value strategy for double digit addition with Mme Kelly:

25+38=

Tens: 20+30=50

Ones: 5+8=13

Total: 63

This strategy shows our understanding of place value when adding. We will be working on developing other strategies in the coming weeks such as using a number line. 

-learned about protecting the environment and why people visit Iqaluit. Ask me about it!
