We have started our Science building unit with some fun building centres and will continue our learning by making cabins, towers, bridges, and so much more! If you have any small styro foam plates, tin pie plates, plastic containers, or cardboard tubes, please send them to school up until Friday Feb. 5th.
This month we have two big days to celebrate: The 100th day of school and Valentines on Friday Feb. 12th. We will be having a combined party on the afternoon of Feb. 11th which is the day to send valentines. We have 24 students and I’ve enclosed a class list. Thanks once again to our generous party snack moms!
Our focus in Math is our big numbers to 100 unit! The kids have really got the idea of counting on and counting back and our next strategy will be doubles facts coming soon. We also started a new schedule of stations called CAMPP where C=computers, A=alone, M=Manipulatives, P=partners, and P=problem solving. The kids are doing really well working within this framework to practise number skills to 100. They’re working on maintenance of counting skills by 1,2, 5, and 10 to 20+ , ordering numbers to 100, filling in missing numbers to 100, 1 more/1 less , addition & subtraction!

Doubles are a great mental math strategy to help children quickly recall addition facts. Once they learn doubles, it’s an easy jump to doubles plus one or doubles minus one. Here’s a little poem to help them remember! We will be starting these near the end of the month, so if you want a jump start, here they are!
1+1=2 Two balloons 1 pink, 1 blue
2+2=4 Four seashells on the seashore
3+3=6 Six houses made of bricks
4+4=8 Four wheels on each roller skate
5+5=10 Ten fingers digging in the garden
6+6=12 Six plus six equals a dozen, painting easter eggs with my cousin!
7+7=14 Fourteen jewels for the queen
8+8=16 The legs on 2 spiders for Halloween!
9+9=18 9 blue and 9 green jellybeans!
10+10=20 The double of 10 will give you plenty!
