Math - borrowing across zero
Haiku Writing
Comprehension Through Art

Subtracting Across Zero
These are some of the ways we can solve when subtracting across zero. We must remember to identify where there is trouble and then borrow so we can solve.


If you want to practice at home, try these questions.
Comprehension Through Art
We looked at a piece of art by an Albertan.  We shared the medium, that artist was from Alberta and the title of the art.  Students discussed what they saw and then what they thought the artist was trying to share with us and why; using details or information from the art and from their experiences.
