We didn't get to blog yesterday because we were on a field trip. We had lots of fun and saw lots of interesting birds. Today, we came into the room and invited Mrs. Johnson's class over for morning work. We did "It All Adds Up." Mrs. Bruno really likes those puzzles. After Mrs. Johnson's class went back to their room, we did Math Magician and worked on addition with regrouping problems. We also completed some "Gus and Grandpa" word problems to go along with our reading story. After our word problems, we pulled out our science module and worked with equal-arm balances. We learned what would make the balance work and what would make it tilt to one side or the other. We also related the equal-arm balance to a particular math symbol we use all of the time . . . THE EQUAL SIGN!!!!! : )
