Math Stations

The children are enjoying working in math stations.
We are working on taking out our materials, sharing and taking turns while we practice the math skill, and cleaning up.


We read the story When Sophie Gets Angry, Really, Really, Angry.
We worked on: 
I can listen to a story.
I can be a good citizen.
I can talk about the characters in the story,
I can connect to the characters feeling.

For our whole group writing today we talked about sounding out our words. 
WE MAKE BIG SOUNDS AND STRETCH OUR WORDS
For example, someone shared their connection about their dog.
We sounded out d-o-g.
BIG SOUNDS!
When your child is writing at home please encourage sounding out.

We visualized a time where we felt angry like the character in the story. 
We practiced: I can imagine what I will write.
We shared our ideas with our turn and talk partner.
Then, the children went to their seats and put their ideas on paper.
Ask your child to share their work with you.

This week I sent home a list of I CAN statements for math.
This is just information.  You can certainly ask your child to share with you their skills.

Our room parents are Tracy A. and Cortney S.
They will be sending home a volunteer form shortly.  Please sign up to volunteer.
