We had a great day today. I am proud to say that we are finally working with coins independently. Today, we played a tic-tac-toe game where students had to represent the number in a square with coins, their partner had to check it, and if it was correct, they got to mark that square. The students did a wonderful job working in pairs and being supportive.
During Language Arts, students worked on expanding "boring sentences", by asking the questions who? what? where? when? why? and how?. They also added any adjectives that they could think of. We also introduced our third centre to the 'Daily 5' program; 'Read to Someone.' Students practiced sitting elbow-to-elbow, knee-to-knee reading 'just right' books to each other. We were very happy with their on-task behaviour. Our UOI time today consisted of planting grass seeds to grow 'hair' for our 'silly face cups'. You will see what I am talking about when you come for interviews tomorrow. We also continued to learn about the parts of a plant and their function. We began to read the story 'The Tiny Seed' by Eric Carle.
