Cause and Effect.

Today in class we are looking at how what we do can effect others. 

 A Cause: Why something happens, What we do.

An Effect is what happens because of what you do.


Example: If you make fun of someone they won't want to play with you.


We then looked at our books and labeled our causes and effects for social studies!

Math Oct 19th

Today in class we looked at adding different numbers to get the same answer by putting people up and down on our bus. This strategy is called compensation and will help no matter the size of the numbers you are adding.

Math: October 16th

As a class we have started a 10 day discovery math problem where we are looking at groups of numbers counting by 5's, 2,s and 10. Here is a sample of the book we are using and how we are looking at numbers.

Over the next ten days we will be moving numbers up and down on the bus, grouping and re-grouping them learning different strategies of how to add and using special tools to help us do so.

Here is an example lesson of the sort of learning we will be doing.
