We started working on creating sentences today.  We learned that you can use colour words and describing words to make a sentence more interesting.  For example "The scary black shark." is more interesting than "The shark."  So, we made lists of colour words and describing words that we could use in our writing.  We then updated the lists into a Wordle format which you can check out below:

In math today we learned that in an addition sentence the biggest number is always at the end of the sentence:

4+5=9

3+7=10

and in a subtraction sentence the biggest number is always at the beginning:

8-5=3

11-5=6

Check out the Powerpoint file that I uploaded to our website to practice this concept at home.
