Hello,
Here is what we did today.
Art Reach: Today most of the class went to
art reach and they made snowman banners! They were taught by an artist and had
lots of fun! Here are some pictures!
Lunch/Recess
UOI: Today we worked on an IB learner
profile. We talked about what it means to be a good communicator. They told me
that communicators listen respectfully to each others ideas. Next we read a
beautiful book called “Sitti’s secrets”. It was about how a girl named Mona
communicates with her Grandmother, her Sitti. They don't speak the same
language so they use her dad to communicate and create their own language. The
pictures were beautiful! This book led us to talk about non-verbal communication.
It inspired some of the children in the class to try and only communicate
through non-verbal communication. They did really well! I was so impressed!
Finally we ended this period by playing communication games. First we played
broken telephone. Next we played a game in which they had to describe an object
without saying the word or a synonym for that word. It was a great period!
Math: Today we worked on comparing numbers
using the symbols < and >. We called them alligators. We did some
questions on the board and learned that the mouth of the alligator eats the
bigger number because the bigger number gives it more food (The wide part of
the symbol points to the bigger number). Next each person wrote two numbers on
their whiteboard and they had to use a pipe
cleaner to put the symbol correctly. We switched whiteboards several times and they had a blast.
Lunch/Recess
Math: They completed textbook work. They
were challenged to write instructions for how they put three numbers in ordcr.
They had to think step by step how they did it. It was a great question! They
found it hard but most of them did it!
Gym: Please see Mr. H’s blog for more
information.
Have a good night!
Miss. Ross
