During Writer's Workshop we discussed what it means to make a positive first impression. We brainstormed for ideas as to when making a good first impression would be really important. We then related this to reading and writing. We know that as writer's we need to make a good first impression to catch our reader's attention so they will read our work. Here are the different ways that we are going to practice making a good first impression in our writing.
How to make a good first impression when writing:
1. Onomatopoeia - repeat a word
2. Start with a question?
3. Sound word
4. Start with a fact.
5. Start with a dialogue
6. Start with an action
During Math we brainstormed for strategies for solving 3 digit numbers. A couple of strategies that we thought of were using expanded notation and stacking the numbers. For example:
326+142
300+100=400
20+40 = 60
6+2 =8
400+60+8 = 468
We also worked on stacking.
326
+142
468
Please practice 3 digit addition at home.
At the end of the day we finished our google slides presentations. They were awesome and I am so proud of everyone for their hard work.
Have a wonderful evening.
Hi Ms Sloan,
ReplyDeleteCan you please show an addition example where one of the columns adds up to more than 10?
We are working on a problem (329+413) and I have no idea how to explain that we have to carry the 1 to the 10's column using this method. Or is this more advanced than the questions you have been working on? Thanks!
