This morning we started off by drawing pictures of our
family. Lots of us found it difficult to draw family members and pets using
lots of details and not using stick people.
We had library today. There were still quite a few students
who did not return their library books. Please make sure that you are bringing
back all of your library books on Monday so they are ready to return on Tuesday
morning!
In math we continued reviewing place value. Yesterday we
created place value numbers and reviewed how the different digits in numbers
have different values. We practiced identifying the value of digits in the
ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and ten thousands place. Today we reviewed how
to create numbers using base ten blocks. We also reviewed how we need 10 ones
to make ten, 10 tens to make a hundred and 10 hundreds to make one thousand. We
practiced drawing out numbers using base ten blocks. We will continue to review
place value throughout the rest of the week as it will be revisited when we
continue with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Ask me to show
you how to draw out these numbers in base ten: 2347, 7853, 1326, 9999
This afternoon in science we learned about pitch. Pitch is
how high or how low a sound is. To explore what sound waves look like we used
rulers and extended them at different lengths off of a desk. We saw that when
the ruler was further out it moved faster and therefore showed a higher pitch.
When there was more of the ruler on the desk it moved slower and showed a
slower pitch. We practiced waving with our hands to remember what sound waves
are doing when they are making high and low pitch sounds.
REMINDERS:
