The students started their day off with new learning table jobs. They will rotate through all the tables as the week goes on.
This weeks tables focus on:
- Letter Jj - ask your child what /Jj/ says and what items/objects/people start with that sound/letter. This is a great thing to practice at home with all the letters in that alphabet.
- Drawing and Labeling - drawing themselves in their winter clothes and labeling by coping the print AND kid-spelling (stretching their chosen word and writting the dominant letter sounds that they hear)
- Measuring
- Subitizing
Non-Standard Measurement: Taller or Shorter
Today the students continued their work with non-stardard measurement. To warm our brains up we first compared two students at a time and practiced saying "_____ is taller than ____" or "____ is shorter than____"
Next, working with partners the students practiced measuring trees and using the math language "taller or shorter than___"
First one student drew 2 trees - each a different height
Then, the other student had to prove which tree was shorter and which tree was taller.
To do this they measured each tree and said which was taller/shorter and by how many blocks.
Fire Drill
Today the AM Kinders experiences their first fire drill. They stoped what they were doing, lined up and quietly and quickly walked outside following the teacher. Students learned that the most important thing to do when there is a fire drill is to stop what they are doing and to get out of the school quickly.
