Mrs. Haglin will be in to help the kids post another entry on Kidblog. Again, they are working on sentence structure and the mechanics creating a post.

Math: Decomposing Numbers

Today we will keep working with our number bonds.
Just like yesterday, I will tell you a story and you will use your number bond page.
Whole Group Explore: Now you will work with your partner as I tell the story.
•Allysa had 6 scarves. 3 of them were striped and the rest were not. How many did not have stripes?
•Marek had 9 siblings. 3 of them were sisters. How many brothers did he have?
•Josie picked 10 flowers. 6 were pink and the rest were not. How many flowers did she have that were not pink?
Watch that students are building the stories on their page by moving the cubes to the correct circles.
Student Application: Students will create their own number bonds to solve the problems.

Library Day

DAILY 5

Computer class today.

Music Today
Science: How Many Stars in a Constellation?
Connect: Remember yesterday when we learned that a star pattern is called a constellation?
Teach: Today, I am going to show you that there are many constellations and each constellation has a different number of stars. Did you know that we have 88 constellations and that each of them has a certain number of stars? Today we are going to look at a few constellations and see how many stars are in each one of them. Let’s see. Here is a table of different constellations and how many stars are in each. I can use this table to help me answer my question. I am going to find out how many stars are in Leo. So I have to go down my table until I find “Leo”. Here it is, right here. Then, if I follow the table across like this, point with finger across the row, I can see that Leo has 9 stars. Now, I want to show that information on my graph. So, I am going to go to my graph, and by Leo I am going to color in 9 squares.
Active Engagement: Now it’s your turn. You are going to be a scientist! I want you to use the table to find how many stars are in each constellation. Then, I want you to color your graph to show what you found out.
Link: Remember boys and girls, today and everyday, good scientists know that our sky is full of constellations and that different constellations have differing amounts of stars.
