Show & Tell and Measuring
The class had Show and Tell. The children love to share and show a fun item from Christmas. It is a great informal way for the class to practice speaking and presenting to an audience.
In math we started a new module that covers measuring. The class has been measuring with centimeter cubes. For a fun lesson the kids were paired together to complete a measuring activity. It is so important that children learn how to work cooperatively with another person. It is great to see the students taking on the role of teacher to help if their partner doesn’t understand a question or needs clarity on a topic. These students are so kind and patient with one another. It may get a little loud, but it is an important layer to add to teaching.
