After reading we took a quick brain break and moved and danced to the song "Going on a Bear Hunt." Then we continued with math. Today we worked on understanding concepts of
alike and
different. I held up two shapes and the boys and girls told me if they were the same ("Why? How do you know?"). We talked about which objects belong, and what that means. The words first, second, and third were introduced. The students then did an activity picking out alike or same objects.
This week was homecoming week and all the kindergarten students painted a hand print onto a banner. We marched into the gym with our banner, showing that we are class of 2025. The cheerleaders came around to each grade level and did a cheer for them. Then the high school students had their homecoming coronation, and we cheered them on from the bleachers.
We finished our fun friday by having choice time in the classroom. The students had 5 different stations they could pick from to rotate among. One station the children really enjoyed was creating things out of scrap paper.
What a great morning! Enjoy the weekend :)
