Our last week was a busy one. We have been working hard on our Shape Books and are looking forward to bringing them home this week. Students continue to work on remembering to write their names on the work they produce. We also have a new centre at school, the Arts and Crafts Centre. It is open during center time. This is a great place for experimenting with writing , drawing, collaborating, and reading.
In math, we have been practicing counting and we begun estimating numbers of objects. Kids are learning to an informed 'guess about how many objects might be in a container. We talked about how an estimation might not be as precise as counting however it is possible to approximate a number of objects by looking carefully and thinking about a possible number.
We have also been researching Fall and collecting leaves.Some children have been asking if they can bring leaves to school. Please help them place any interesting leaves they find in a plastic bag and have them place the bag inside their backpack. On Thursday we read a story called Leaf Man. The students wanted to look for Leaf Man around their home over the weekend and make their own leaf art.
Here is a link to the story: Leaf Man
