January 22nd, 2016

We took this short week as the halfway point in our school year and spent time reviewing some of the things we've learned so far.  


Reviewing numbers, we worked hard on our big project for the week.  Back in October, we created our 1-5 counting books.  This week, we finished things off as we composed
Volume II: A Complete Analysis of Numerals 6-10.

The highlight of the week, however, was playing a number recognition game on our interactive whiteboard.

Going over letters A-L, we built them in sand...

played with our A-L sound containers... 

traced letters A-L in shaving cream...

...and made our take-home books.

We also spent time each day examining shapes.  We used stencils...

puzzle blocks...

and finally shape cards.


Now, just in case my snapshots make my classroom look artificially peaceful and calm, I'll include one that shows what it really looks like.  We're a busy bunch, but we're definitely a happy bunch!
