Thank you to all of our parents who brought in a special treat for our Halloween party on Thursday. We had an amazing afternoon listening to spooky halloween songs and enjoying our treats.
In math, we are working on math problem solving. I am learning to think about numbers in different ways. Today we worked on a math question that involved the number 10. "There are 10 witches in the air, some of them have black hats and some of them have red hats. How many different combinations could there be? Show your thinking using pictures words and numbers"
Please help me with this concept at home. For example, at the dinner table you could ask: There are 6 people eating right now, some of us are boys and some of us are girls. What two numbers make 6?
I am learning to think about numbers and connect them to the real world.
In math, we are also learning how to reflect on our work. We use the color codes "green, yellow and red". I need to look at different things when I do math:
Today we each made a special card for a boy named Cade. Some of us remember Cade from last year where he came to an assembly and we all sang him our favorite song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Cade was in Mrs. Ly's class last year in grade 1 and she shared with us who Cade was. This year, Cade is turning 7 and he is asking for birthday cards. His request has become viral and he has been on radio stations and even the news!

We FaceTimed him this morning too and he was thrilled that we were making cards for him! Mrs. Ly will be delivering the cards to him on Wednesday for his birthday. Ask me to tell you what I know about Cade and what he likes.
