At the start of math time each day we review our Calander Wall. This morning Hannah was our leader and what a wonderful teacher she was! There are 17 different things that the student leader talks about including days of the week, money, graphs, shapes and telling time. Our favorite thing to do is glueing on the puzzle piece of the day. We are creating a 100 piece puzzle on our wall as we look ahead to our 100th day of school. We've made it to day 30 and it will be indeed here before we know it. Thanks to Jessica Meacham's great website and inspiration that helped create this wonderful learning area.
Today we also passed out our Song and Poetry Journals. The songs we sing and many of the poems we share will be coming home in a yellow notebook each week so that parents and children can sing and recite to their hearts content. Remember that children can bring them home on Fridays and we only ask that they be returned each Monday morning.
In math we practiced writing numbers eight and nine as well as playing a simple game with 10 pennies. Place the pennies in a pile and grab some one hand and the remainder in the other. Working in pairs children would say, "I have 4 pennies in my right hand and 6 pennies in my left hand." This continues on providing children with a great introduction of adding and number sentences.
