We love to choose, play and explore

Our extraordinary builders - Jack, Aiden and Maxi

This week we began having math activities.  Each day the students visit one new activity that supports them where they are developmentally in regards to their math understanding.  Sophia and Bianca played a game where each put a certain number of chips into the "pot" to make a certain number.  They found at you can make numbers many different ways!

Aluinn and Kaden participated in the same activity.  The math conversations shared have been wonderful!

Roll and Record!  Brady played this game independently.  After several rolls the students in this group were excitedly comparing their results.  They even talked about why they rolled numbers like 2 less times.

More Roll and Record

Well, we had to get the iPads out at some point.  Aiden and Anna are exploring the different math games in the Math Apps Folder.

Lexi and Ariana are busy using their fine motor muscles to clip the correct number of pins onto the number card.

One group worked with Meaghan

Sam was our first All About Me presenter!  The class loved to hear that he was named after his great grandfather.

Logan playing a math game during choice time.

Rubber bands + Dylan + Brady = fun!

Our artists were busy creating using scissors, staplers, tape and various materials.

Maxi is quite the builder.

Bianca worked her fine motor muscles out.

Lola became an expert on different ways to make the number 5.

This math group practiced writing equations to match their number card and different colored chips.

Sam made the number 5 is many ways too!

Kendall and Jack loved creating lots of equations for 9.

Still working those muscles out.

Maxi, Dylan and Lexi loved playing with the loom that was put out for the first time today during choice.

These gentlemen were very determined.

Logan asked Kaden, the star student this week, to show him how to draw a person.  They then labeled each drawing, "Star Student."

They finished the puzzle!!  They even matched the lowercase letters (on the people) to the capital letters on the puzzle.
