Learning intentions for our day...

• Literacy - We book shopped today and really considered the purpose of our new book using the I-pick strategy.  It's ok to read a variety of books but sometimes a certain type of book fits best best to reading aloud to a partner.  These books will be the ones that we will use to record our reading into Iris over the next few weeks.
• Math - We communicated our thinking about how we counted our objects yesterday.  We continue to build our ability to communicate our thinking and explain WHY we choose the strategies we do.
• Inquiry - We read the story, The Best Part of Me, and began to consider the best part of ourselves.  We discussed how we can use our body to communicate positivity through actions, words and creativity.
• Health - Today we discussed how we react to problems. Sometimes these reactions can be expected for the size of the problem but in some cases they can be unexpected.  

Ask me about...

the types of reactions we have to problems.
