Kindergarten completed a variety of math activities today. Students enjoyed working on patterns. We reviewed AB, ABB, and ABC patterns. Students were asked to create a colour pattern and extend 2 and 3 element patterns using manipulatives, colours and templates. Kindergarten worked on using direct comparison to compare two groups of objects using more and less vocabulary to explain their thinking. Students sorted based on the rule of plants or animals. We revisited subitizing and matched dice, fingers and numerals.
Well being is so important in our busy lives today. Positive mental health helps students develop as learners. Today we shared things that make us happy. We talked about things that can make us sad or mad. Students practiced deep breathing and visualization of happy thoughts to push away sad or made thoughts. We read the book, Magic Breath, and created an art piece to show our own magic breath. Beautiful art pieces now hang on our windows to remind us of how we can use happy thoughts and deep breathing to help us when we are sad.
Students have two new library books coming home-enjoy.
