Although this week was short, we fit a lot in! It was wonderful to see the children reunite and share stories from their winter vacations.
Julia brought in some baby photos to share with the class for her birthday celebration:
In Math we learned a new game called "Beat the Calculator" where children play three roles: the "caller", the "brain" and the "calculator". The caller calls out addition problems, the brain solves the problem in their head and the calculator must solve the problem only using the calculator. It was great to see how often the brain solved the problem fast than the calculator!
Mrs. Brennan and I have switched roles for the new year: I will be teaching Social Studies to both classes and she will be teaching Science to both classes. Miss Abro will be teaching the first unit on maps. This week the children read about the main features of a map, and recorded their findings on a class categorizing brain frame.
