Before the first graders began their math thinking in room 1, we took a minute to generate our knowledge of math by answering the question, "What is math?" Using the chalk talk routine, each child is asked to share their thinking through writing which can help those students who are hesitant to talk put their thinking out there! The first graders have some wonderful ideas and I think their thinking will grow leaps and bounds as we continue through the year!
The first graders have done a lot the first two weeks to help build our classroom community!
ChrysanthemumCommonality BINGOCommonality SuperheroesEvery Friday, the first graders will be learning a new math game that reinforces the learning we will be doing during Math Workshop. Math Workshop in Room 1 consists of 3 main parts: whole-group mini-lesson, independent practice / small-group instruction, game time. By learning a new game each Friday, the first graders can quickly build a selection of games they can choose to play throughout the week! This week's game was stair step number building!
Friday we met our fifth grade buddies from Mrs. Weitzel's room! It was a quick visit but we had a chance to get to know our new friends! |
