Happy Birthday Tyler!
What's Happening in the Classroom?
Math: The past two weeks we have been exploring our calendar, shapes and numbers! Last week we starting signing in each morning and keeping track of the days of the month. We have been exploring the different attributes of pattern blocks and have been creating our own designs using a variety of shapes. Today we made a class book of numbers where each student was assigned a number 1-17 and had to write and draw a page for our class book to create a visual for their number (i.e. - 5 dogs, 9 crabs, 11 marbles). Their ideas and pictures were very creative!
Social Studies: This week we focused on our school rules of, "take care of yourself, take care of others, and take care of our school". We brainstormed together and wrote down our ideas of what kinds of actions we need to display in order to meet those three expectations at school. Next week we will continue by turning our brainstorming list into a large poster to hang in the classroom and refer to throughout the year!
