Happy Thursday!

Here is Brody reading our morning sentence! Way to go Brody! You might have heard about morning sentence...right from day 1 we've been learning that readers use picture clues to figure out hard words. We also practice snap words and initial sounds with survey! 

Exploring with buttons! Look below to see what some kiddos tried! 

Dawson arranged his in order by size! 

Alora sorted out all of the stars :) 

Reagan found an 'A' button! 

Layla found buttons without holes! 

Nora's idea was to sort by color! Boy--did this catch on!!! Great job Nora! 

Nora's table friends (Alivia and Gabe) were helping her...

I challenged Bryanna to make a pattern...red, gold, red, gold, red....wow! 

Today our math problem was: Write your name. How many letters are in your name? 
Here is Dawson taking a look at Bryanna's work. Bryanna made it onto our 'how did you do it' wall! Her strategy was to keep track of the letters in her name by writing the numerals underneath each letter. 
She also tried drawing circles-like Nora-but Dawson noticed the value of the circles didn't quite match.

Have to share this! Nora was turning in her math notebook for the birthday cake problem. She came up to me and said, "I just wanted to explain that the five candles and 5 are for how old I am now. The 6 and the little candle off to the side are because I'm going to be six soon!" 
WOW!!! 

Here is a page from today's BIG K02 math notebook! 

We are learning how to share and discuss things with our elbow partners! 

Here is our math wall! I just love this wall! Soon it will be full! Nora is our first friend on the wall.
