Math, Music and Working Together!

 This was a very busy group of kids this morning! Some people were painting with little paint sets, others were drawing, some were working on small building projects and a large group of kids worked together beautifully to build a huge structure. 


It's a bit tricky to see, but they were trying to build a structure that everyone in the class could fit in.  There was a lot of discussion about how to make the structure more stable and how to keep it from falling.


This person turned himself into a plane.  Again, it's tricky to see, but he made wings and has a propellor at the front. So cool!


Working and talking together.

Here is a portrait of me beside the classroom carpet.  It's just too great not to share!


The class has been learning scales in Music. They performed "do a dear" for me when I came to pick them up today.


Today the kids were talking about combining numbers.  We spent some time looking at "10 frames" which is something we do quite regularly.  But we extended our learning today by learning how to show our number stories in writing. We talked about the symbol for adding and the equal sign and we found many different ways of making 10.

These are examples of two different 10 frames that we use in the class.  


Have a great weekend!
