Ask me about monday, november 16, 2020

We started our day today with an executive functioning activity.  We worked on remembering items in a collection.  I showed the children 9 items on a tic-tac-toe grid.  I had them draw their own grid before I showed the items, then I named each item, left it on the second for 30 seconds, then had them draw as many items as they remembered.  I put 9 items on hoping they would remember some of them, but knowing they would not be able to remember all of them.  We talked about remembering details, and how organizing our paper and thinking about the arrangement might help us remember the items.  We will play more of these types of games to continue to exercise our memory and make it stronger!  This is a fun game for a family to play as well!  It's an old wedding and baby shower game!
We continued talking about characters today.  We compared two characters from different stories, then wrote our opinion of which character we liked better.  We know when we write an opinion we have to tell what our opinion is and a reason.  The children worked on their own to write and draw a picture, although I had modeled an example of what they could do.  Then, I asked the children to take a picture of their writing on Seesaw.  Many of the children were able to do that on their own, and a few needed a little help.  I know it will get easier!
I math we learned about hexagons, and practiced using precise math language when talking about shapes.  We used words such as sides, corners or verticies or angles, and flat shape.  
We added the red word "got' to our collection of words.  We continued to practice working with /i/ .

We had a great day!
