Good Afternoon!
Today students had a very productive day!
We began the day with our usual morning routine and snacks.
After that students completed a language worksheet where they had to say the name of each picture and circle the correct beginning blend.
After that we started our new unit on Math: Measurement
We read a story together about three little bears: Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear. Students then cut out the pictures and sorted the items according to which bear they would belong to.
I asked students why they sorted the way they did and encouraged them to use size words to describe the items in each group.
Students had a lot of fun doing that.
In our unit of inquiry we are still working on our KWL chart.
After lunch students practiced their song for the French Cafe and played with puzzles and blocks.
Have a great evening!
