Students started their day off with new learning tables. This week they focus on:
- Journal Writing - drawing and labeling their pictures
- More or Less - matching number quantities and determining which amounts are more or less than a given number
- Number Pairs for #8
- Matching numbers to color words
Both the AM and PM Kinders had gym today where they worked on their throwing to a target skills.
Representing Number 8
We continued our number investigation and worked on representing number 8 today.
How many different ways can we represent a number?
- 10 frame
- Numberline
- 2 different colors (number pairs - ex: to make number 8 there could be 3 reds and 5 white)
- Loose parts
- Numerals
- Fingers
- Tally lines
Friday:
The AM students completed their diorama for their chosen animal. We did a vote today and they voted to keep their dioramas secret until you see them at conferences at the end of march. I will tell you that they look AMAZING and the students worked very hard at adding details to it.
PM students will be completing theirs on Thursday.
