Today we started planning for DEC day. After talking about cooperation and how to work in a team, the children looked at the materials that are available (so many- thanks to so many of you!) and started making their plan for their game. Many children needed guidance from the teachers to compromise and come up with a plan, but there is a lot of excitement and anticipation for this challenge!
When Ms. Pirelli joined the class, she also read a book about sharing and playing together. We discussed how it feels good to share and to know that others are having good feelings about us. Our hope is that this conversation will be in each child's thoughts as they work in groups of 3 for our DEC day projects.
We spent our math time in the computer lab. We problem solved together for problems on which I have noticed children struggling. As children went and worked independently, they seemed more able to solve the problems on their own using the strategies discussed.
