In math, we are returning to our work on solving addition and subtraction number stories this month. Students are working on showing their math thinking using a variety of strategies. I have been so impressed by everyone's hard work and positive attitudes.
On Thursday, we had an exciting ECO lesson with Carrie. We learned about different types of mammal tracks. Since it was a very chilly morning, we started our work inside by learning how to classify mammals by the way they move. We learned how walkers, bounders, hoppers, and waddlers move. Then, we had a chance to practice moving in those different ways on yoga mats that had footprints drawn on them. Next, we went outside for our snack, a story, and a fun game called Coyote and Moose. We learned why it is harder for coyotes to walk in the deep snow.
In the afternoon, students wrote about their learning in their ECO journals. We practiced using elaboration to stretch out our writing with interesting details and descriptions.

New homework will be sent home early next week. In the meantime, please encourage your child to read at least every other day and to practice addition and subtraction facts. Thanks!
