Hot and Cold temperatures

Students were given the task of finding items that were hot or cold. We read a book about temperature and brainstormed items that were hot or cold. Students then created picture collages of items that were hot or cold.

Reading Emotions

After focusing yesterday on working with a group, the students learned about reading emotions today. As a class, we read the book "Lots of Feelings".

We talked about when we feel different emotions. Then, the students rotated through 3 activities: Emotions charades, guessing what the emotion is and acting out the story as a group. To end the morning, each students started drawing three faces: a face that would show they are working in school, a face showing they are helping a friend and a face showing cooperation.

Measuring the classroom and working with a group

Today we launched into our math unit on measurment. Students were able to choose from a variety of items to measure different objects in the class. Afterwards, we talked about how you choose what to measure with - some tools are better suited for different objects!

This afternoon we worked on strategies on how to work with others. Students had to work in a group of 4 to design a playground. Afterwards, they reflected on how their group worked together and what strategies they used to help problem solve.
