Today we started learning about Elsie, our Star Of The Week. Elsie did a great job sharing her poster as the Kindergartners added to their mind files about Elsie.
We also continue to review what's expected as a Five Star writer. The Kindergartners corrected my "mistakes" in the morning message and then wrote in their journals, making sure not to make the same mistakes that I made! They all did a great job editing and re-reading their work.
During math, I introduced tally marks as a way to represent a numeral. We watched a Jack Hartmann music video which brought fun energy to the classroom, and then I wrote tally marks on the board and the Kindergarteners had to figure out what number was being represented. Tomorrow, during math stations, the children will roll, write, and then tally.
