This week we learned about how asking questions can help us be a better reader. By asking questions, our minds stay focused on the story while we look for evidence in the text. This group read a story about desert animals and asked the question, "What is in a camel's humps?" We didn't find any evidence in our text, but luckily, we were able to find a reliable source to get the answer to our question! Guess what! It's NOT water! It's fatty tissue! Learn something new every day, right?
We also practiced asking questions during our 10 Feather Celebration. After a friend showed their toy, we took turns asking a question about the toy.
In math this week, we talked about positional words.
"My hand is beside his head."
"My hand is below the table."
"I am going over the chair."
"He went under my legs."
Each day during calendar time, we stay engaged by using our white boards. Sometimes we get to write on the ActivBoard! We practice writing numbers, making patterns, and showing numbers in different ways. We call these name collections!
How many ways can we show '7'?
And, sometimes, this happens.
CAUTION! KIDS AT WORK!!
See that pile of coats, whiteboards, water bottles, etc?? Those things are LONGER than a whiteboard marker.
See that lonely little eraser? He's SHORTER than a whiteboard marker.
See those whiteboards all over the floor? We were way too busy and excited to find and compare longer and shorter objects that we made a mess in the process! But it was fun, so it's all good! :)
Great job this week, Little Learners!
