This has been an exciting week!
We studied Sequence of Events by reading about the steps to growing a plant. Students noticed keywords that show order such as "first", "then", "next", etc.
During Daily 5, we introduced our 4th station: Listening to Reading. Students used headphones, CD players, and iPads to listen to picture books being read aloud. The two stories available on the iPads were ABCmouse.com - Mount Rushmore, and Just Me and my Mom. These are both free on the iTunes App Store.
We will continue to practice Listening to Reading during the coming week.
Students continued comparing two quantities. We played The Game of Compare (which you may know as "war"). Students begin with a pile of number cards (0-10). Each student draws a card, and whoever has more says "me".
We also continued doing Grab and Compare, where students each grab a handful of blocks, build a tower, and compare to see whose is longer.
Thank you to Mrs. Purcell, who came in as a parent volunteer to run a math station last week. Students worked with Mrs. Purcell to measure objects against a 10-block tower. They determined whether the object was longer or shorter than the tower, and drew/labeled the object.
