Happy October!
Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, and we've been having fun incorporating FALL things into our lessons last week and this week. This week, we learned about warm and cool colors on the color wheel and then spent time tracing leaf outlines and using our fabulous watercoloring skills to fill in the leaf outlines with WARM colors. Here was the outcome:
In math this week, we learned about "put-together" and "take-apart" problems on our "part-part-whole" mats. Students learned a song about how "part" is also known as an "addend", and "whole" is also known as the "sum" in math problems. We started by using our connecting cubes and part-part-whole mats to solve problems, and eventually transitioned to creating math sentences (also known as equations). The students made huge progress this week. If you eat pizza with them at all this weekend, I encourage you to ask them about the pizza problems we did in math this week. They loved it!
Here are a couple of our hard-at-work mathematicians!
MEA and Fall Conferences are approaching. I hope you were able to sign up for conferences and will enjoy the fall break next Thursday and Friday! Until then!
