In Math today we learned a new game which can be played with either 2 or 3 people - it's called Greatest Number War.  It's fun to play and all you need is a deck of cards with the 10s and face cards removed.  The object of the game is to get all of your opponent's cards.  You play the game by flipping over 2 cards - the first card is the tens digit, the second card is the ones digit.  The player with the greatest number wins the cards!

Greatest Number War

One down...two to go!

Wow - what a short week!

In Language Arts, we are researching the Polar Bear.  We started the project off by filling in a K-W-L Chart - what we already knew about Polar Bears and what we want to know about Polar Bears.

In Math, we worked on our Chrome Books creating a document illustrating the meaning of equal, not equal, less than and greater than - I am so pleased with the ease at which students are completing these technology projects!

Due to the short week, I have not sent home new WWW, new Word Sort or Home Reading.  Please use this week to review.
