Wednesday, Sept 19th

Today we did another team building math problem. We worked in groups of 3. Each group had the same problem:
There are 4 people at a party. How can you sort these cookies so that each person gets 3 cookies?
Look at this group above. First they tried sorting by color.
What is by color? No.....




Oh look! It didn't take very long and every group figured out that you sorted by shape!
In kindergarten, students have to be able to sort by color, shape and size.


Here is a great book by Maurice Sendak. It's called, Chicken Soup with Rice. We write the dates in our calendars every day. They are learning directionality (left to right) from this---it's interesting to see how messy our Sept calendars are compared to the rest of the year! We will also work more on proper formation of our numbers :)
