Highlights of the Week

During math we worked with partners to practice the principles of collaboration.

The kids loved time to explore making patterns with geoboards and pattern blocks as part of math time.

We learned slate routines this week as we practiced making tally marks to count in groups of 5.

This partnership met to share and discuss potential ideas for their first small moment story.

Got books?  2-P does and we love to read already.  This is during DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read).

On Thursday we played a game to build number sense called, "Roll it, Write it, Tally it."

Students learned one way to practice their differentiated spelling lists.  We did it on slates this week and next week we will add "Rainbow Words" to our repertoire.

We ended up having our first indoor recess on Thursday when the storm hit.  The kids played trains, legos, and math games on the rug while the rain came down.

More inside recess fun

During our first writing workshop session students began to work on their initial small moment story.

Snack and a math game on Friday - we learned the "Number Grid" game - a fantastic game that builds number sense and facilitates use of the number grid in counting by 1s and adding 10s efficiently.

These mathematicians are working on part of our class number scroll - we each took part in creating a scroll from 0 to 1,000!
