We started the day learning another sound. This one is digraph sh (Sheriff Shad shaves) and the sound is sh.
For ELA time we started learning about being "mindful." Being aware of our surroundings, and people around us, and not running on auto-pilot. It is definitely a big idea, and we will continue to break it down into Kinder-sized lessons to better understand. We started with thinking about presents that we have received and really loved. We added this information to our Mindful Notebook. (More to come.)
Math was a breeze! We continued to talk about capacity and comparing. They get this as well. Measuring, comparing sizes, and capacity seem to be natural lessons as preschoolers, so when they get to Kinder, all I have to do is review and add vocabulary. Awesome!!!
This was a fun game: Beans in a Cup. In pairs, one child had 5 beans. She puts some under a cup (while the other person hides her eyes), then the person who hid the eyes must tell how many are under the cup. Then they traded roles. This is a wonderful ways to concretely show addition sentences to 5. Soon, not only will they say the number, but they will write the number sentence on a paper.
Looking forward to another FANTASTIC day of math testing on Friday while Mrs. Fitzgarrald teaches the class.
