Lent

Today marks the first day of Lent.  Your child has filled a bag with daily promises.  Each night, they are to pull one of the promises out and try to complete it either that night or the next day.  We also made "Lenten Promise" cocoons that are on our prayer table.  We had to think of something we were going to give up or something we would do to make the world a better place...some sort of change...I wonder what will happen when Easter arrives?  We are also a class of 'bucket fillers'.  That means we do good deeds or say kind words to others.  It is easy and it is free.  You feel good and so does the other person.  We are going to try and fill up our class bucket...I know we can do it!

We are 'bucket fillers' at St. Cecilia

How to Subtract with Regrouping and...Mass Inquiry

Mass Inquiry




Here is an awesome video showing you how to subtract with regrouping!  Check it out here!
Today we were at centers looking at the mass of objects using non-standard units of measurement.  AnYuan told us that just because an object is bigger does not mean it will always have a bigger mass.  To prove his statement, we looked around the classroom for examples to prove his theory.





Bigger doesn't always mean heavier!
