Learning Intentions for our Day ...
- Today we learned how to write a Diamante' Poem! We applied what we have learned about descriptive language to create a poem comparing two classmates.
- In Inquiry we sorted the remaining contents of our lunch kits to see what students had in the categories: Garbage, Recycle, Compost and then shared in the big group. We discussed what was one change each student could make to reduce their "eco-footprint" with their lunch items.
- In Math we are working on building fact fluency with addition facts to 18. Today we practiced through math games while teachers continued to do one-on-one assessments to see which mental math strategies each child uses.
Ask me about ...
what surprised you when we sorted the items from our lunch kids during Inquiry today? What is one wonder that you have?
the discussion we had today about using kind words and being patient with one another during this very busy time of year.
