Number Stories and Our First Field Trip

NToday in math we learned how to read and write number stories.  We practiced putting information from the number stories into number models to help us keep track of our information.  We are very comfortable with number stories that ask us to find the total.  We are less comfortable with number stories that don't give us all of the information.


For example:
We LOVE: I had two donuts.  I ate two more.  How many did I eat?


We like LESS: I had two donuts. I ate some more.  I had eaten 4 donuts by the end of the day.  How many more did I eat?


Practicing at home with missing information will be helpful!  You can turn anything into a number story! 


We are learning all about short "e" this week.  We got our new word work list and color sorted the different endings.  We are looking for ___en, ___et, and ___eg words.  See how many you can find while you're reading at home!


We read Caps for Sale to get ready for our field trip to the Flynn Theater tomorrow.  We are very excited for a live performance and a field trip! 

We also investigated solids and described them in science!
