Happy Friday!
Today we had a lot of fun. We had
our star student sharing, followed by our daily math warm up. There we
came up with story problems, and the boys and girls had to write the
corresponding equation frame that would match (i.e. ___+5=10). Then we
did a language arts review of what we learned this week. This included
some fun smartboard games.
Then it was time for Fun Friday Game centers. The boys and
girls did a word building board game, learned how to play "Spot it,"
played "Headbands" with vocabulary, charades with vocabulary, as well as
a read-to-self and read-to-teacher station. They had a blast!
After lunch we went straight to music. Then we came back and did
more review on matching story problems with equations. This helps
prepare children for writing algebraic equations with an unknown. It
also helps them to read problems carefully to understand the situation.
They are doing great.
We had computer as well as art in the classroom. Then we earned our turtle time ___minutes, and enjoyed that free choice time!
Have a wonderful weekend!
