It was great to hear about each child's weekend this morning as the Kindergarteners came into school this morning. We went over our "feelings" poster and I suggested the use of the following sentence prompt when writing in their weekend journals: I felt ___________ when____________. Some chose to use this idea, while others wrote in other styles.
We had Math Shuffle this morning. Our groups have changed as we are now starting to focus on addition and subtraction. We are focusing on explaining our thinking and how we managed to figure out the answer to a problem. Also, during math stations, we started new groups as we focus on missing addends. At the lesson station, for example, we played the "hiding games" where we hid a certain amount of cubes under the bucket and had to figure out the missing amount of cubes. We talked about the equations that corresponded with our answers.
