I just wanted to update everyone, incase there were any questions about the upcoming math test this Friday. The math test is on 4-digit addition with carrying (aka. regrouping). (Example: 8,432 + 3,456). The students have all shown a good understanding of the carrying strategy but should do a little bit of practicing at home. They should continue to check that they have carried (and shown this by placing the 1 above the correct column) and that they have added CORRECTLY. The main reason why students get answers wrong during our math lesson is that they have made simple adding mistakes. Checking answers and practicing flash cards will help them prepare and do well on the math test!
And DAFFODILS!
On a totally separate note, our class planted daffodils in a school garden on Friday. Each student got to plant a bulb and label it with their name. We analyzed the inside of a daffodil bulb and discussed what plants need to grow. The students dug a hole approximately 8 inches deep and made sure to plant the bulb with the roots down so that the plant will grow correctly. They had a great time and took care in finding a spot to put their bulb. We're looking forward to tracking their growth this spring! Here are a few pictures!
