This morning we learned how to use our smartboard in math. Ariana and Kaleb lead our Monster Squeeze game and were able to move objects around using our special smartboard pen. We also explored more with pattern blocks today and used the names of the shapes as we designed and played. We are learning how to use our classroom materials very nicely.
We played our first Pax game today! Pax games are so fun because they're short, you win by following directions, and EVERYONE works together to find success! When we win a Pax game, we earn a Granny's Whacky Prize. This morning's prize was to speedwalk through the hallways! We couldn't BELIEVE Granny would suggest that we break a rule, but we had SO MUCH FUN speedwalking silently through the hallways we couldn't be totally silent because we were giggling the entire time.
During Reader's Workshop we learned about our classroom library and how to take care of our books. We also used Post-Its to record our thinking as we read. We read many funny stories and even listened to a story on Tumble Books. We played a secret Pax game during Reader's Workshop and the Granny's Whacky Prize was... backwards chair sitting! We just think Granny is so funny with her prizes. Backwards chairs, YIKES!
Our Teaching Point for Writer's Workshop today was, "I can write a small moments story by thinking, planning, and writing." We wrote many stories across the pages to tell about ourselves and our life.
