Ask Me About Thursday, September 28, 2017

Today we learned about symbols.  We looked at all kinds of symbols from car companies to symbols you might see on the highway.  Then we looked at symbols of our country.  We watched a video that told about six different symbols of the United States.  Ask me to name two symbols of the United States.  
We read a beautiful book at being yourself.  The books is called Be a Friend, by Salina Yoon.  This story tells about a boy who is extraordinary.  The trailer below will give you a better idea of the book.  Ask me to tell you what a mime is. ​Maybe they will even show you their jazz hands!

In math, we played at game with dot arrangements.  We are working on subitizing, which means being able to know how many without counting.  This is an important concept in building strong number sense.  Here's a video to give you a little more information about what subitizing is and why it is important.
