Learning intentions for our day...

• Today we almost finished our story writing assessment which is meant to give teachers a snapshot of where each student is at.  This will lead to some work on building story writing skills in the coming weeks.
• Today's math number talk was focused on subtraction strategies and connecting them to what we know about addition.  We introduced a new subtraction fact game and had just a few minutes to give it a try.
• We are preparing for some new work in Inquiry next week by thinking and journalling about what makes Alberta special.

Here are a few online math games that you can play to help you develop your mental math fluency for addition and subtraction!
