Counting On and Earth Science - Weather Watchers Science Kit

Counting On

Today for math we practiced the addition strategy Counting On.  

Counting on is a mental math skill where, when adding two numbers, you begin counting from the largest number and add the second number to it.

This builds on what we have been working on previously this year by naming the larger number in a pair of number.  (We have played the game Top It to reinforce this concept). Please watch the short song to help with this concept 

(WARNING this song can be know to get stuck in your head!)

Science - Weather Watchers

Today we have begun our Earth Science unit.  It is called Weather Watchers.  Today the children wrote, colored and shared what their favorite type of weather.  They also decided what they would like to learn more about.
