“Acceptance of others, their
looks, their behaviors, their beliefs, brings you an inner peace and
tranquility instead of anger and resentment. “
I thought that this was the perfect
quote to share with our families, especially with Acceptance Week approaching. Within our classroom we always discuss
and practice the fair treatment of those alike and different from ourselves. I
hope that you all had a chance to watch the video from Fox News with your
child. If you weren’t able to, I’m
attaching the link to the video. It is such a powerful video and sparks many
needed conversation that the students need and want to have. This week will we
will be focusing more on what acceptance means to us and also to the world.
After watching the video these are the thought that the students had...
During the morning while students are
waiting for the day to start, they are given free time to explore on their
chromebooks, play games, or choose any other activity that interest their
inquiry. The kids typically want to go on their chromebooks or do some other
independent activity, but on Wednesday I noticed that the majority of the kids
were all crowded on the carpet socializing and enjoying each other’s company.
It was such a beautiful sight!!
Math
We’re still working on subtraction of
2 and 3 digit numbers. We’ve also been working on solving word problems. The
students are amazing at creating their own word problems and they are getting
pretty good at solving them as well. We’ve created a game called math race. We
love this game because it helps with out fluency in addition and subtraction,
but also because it gives us a chance got outside and be active. The game is simple, there are two teams, a
math equation is called and the students race to solve it. They love, probably
because they are extremely competitive.
Math Race
Reading and Writing
Our favorite time of the day is
reading and writing. The students love to write stories, illustrate, and share
those stories. As I mentioned in the previous blog, each day a student is
responsible for sharing a read aloud with the class and another student will be
responsible for sharing a piece of writing from his or her writer’s notebook.
The students love it and so do I! With the nice weather, we’ve taken advantage and
found some cozy spots outside to read and write! We would love to share some of our writing and
read alouds with you all. So please feel free to drop in and have a listen.
