We continued to have such a great time in Room 1. We started the morning by using an action word (verb) to describe something that we did this weekend. We used this word as we shared with our friends and then wrote in our journals. After a recess in the crisp fall air, we came inside and turned over the letter L- Lapping Lion and brainstormed words that begin with L. We also used letters to change words around- For example, children were asked the change the word "LAP" to "TAP" to "TAN" to "TAB".
After lunch, we had new math stations. These included a Lesson Station where children were asked to graph the number of letters in each chiild's name in our class. We noticed that most children have 6 letters in their name! At the Game Station, the Kindergarteners played top it, using the more or less spinners. Thank you to Mrs. O'Brien for helping out at this station. Exploration Station involved putting unifix cubes on Line Puzzles and then sorting the puzzles according to number of unifix cubes. Finally, the Review Station asked children to count the different parts (whiskers, feet, tails, mouths, etc) on an animal and record the number.
After the Kindergarteners spent time in the Computer Lab using Lexia, we ended the day with Open Circle, as we reflected upon Double D behaviors and Annoying Behaviors. The children shared some examples of these types of behaviors that they have witnessed or needed to deal with. It seems that many are using the strategies that we have been discussing during Open Circle.
