Thursday's Learning

Hi everyone! If you didn't sign up to get your child's belongings, don't stress. I can get them to you in September (it feels so weird saying that)! Let me know if you have any questions.

Don't forget to e-mail me any pictures/work/questionnaires that you've done IF YOU WANT... no pressure! I will post them tomorrow :) mpliura@hwdsb.on.ca

Literacy: Watch this video on sight words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIZjrcG9pW0
Remember, we use "eye words" in our classroom to help us. Sight words are tricky because for the most part, you can't sound them out! You can download the eyewords PDF Here. I like to use them as flash cards or practice making a sentence out of them :)

Mathematics: The reason we work on subitizing so much is because it lends itself to addition. When we're adding, we aren't adding numerals... we're adding quantities. Students can see the quantity and count on. Stefan is a subitizing expert! Once they understand how to, you can hold up two plates. They start with the biggest number and then count on, and guess what, that's adding! No numerals, addition signs or equal signs involved. This is the important piece. Writing it down is just the representation :)


Watch some of our favourite subitizing videos, or make some subitizing plates or flashcards with markers or stickers!



Here's a little throwback for TBT ;) This makes me happy and sad at the same time! I miss you all dearly :(
