Tuesday Mr. Massey joined our class, and helped us create a class agreement. We focused on how we want our class to Look like, Sound like, and Feel like. Students provided their responses, and Mr. Massey and myself added a few as well! The final product will look similar to this, though each student has identified one word that means the most to them, and have included a "pinkie stamp" as a way of 'signing' their pinkie promise to the class. Final product will be posted in our class soon. Some new centers were added to our rotation: bead creation, and domino's! The students are enjoying matching the numbers and learning the rules of the game. So many skills are practiced while playing game like this; taking turns, playing fairly, and sportsmanship to name a few. Aliyah's show and tell were two alphabet books, both beginning with the letter Aa! Wednesday Mrs. Shea was away at workshop. Students had big equipment in the gym, and created a new class book about what they want to be when they grow up. It's so cute, come on in and take a look! Thursday We read a story about Pete the Cat and the 5 Little Pumpkins. It's a classic Halloween story which helps us practice our rhyming recognition. Whenever we read a rhyming book, I like to pause and let the students complete the sentences. This helps me scan the room and see where we are with rhyming. After reading the story, we completed this "5 Little Pumpkins" sitting on a gate number cutting activity. We used oil and chalk pastels for the gates. Beckham and Ben brought their show and tell, both special items to them which begin with the letter Bb! Friday
Professional Development Day - No school for students! I attended a Math Workshop in Vancouver. The workshop provided many fun games, activities, and songs to help teach math concepts to students. I had so much fun learning these games/activities, and got to wear both the teach and student hat. I will be incorporating many of the ideas I learned in this workshop throughout the year!
