All in a Week's Work

It happens every year- we end up with so much to do and so little time left.  This feeling comes in large part because the children are so capable and we know each other so well- the opportunities for learning seem limitless!  Here is a look at some of last week's activities that show a range of learning experiences from open exploration to focused discussion.
These friends are building a fairy house in the courtyard.

Here's a look at hands on planting and sequencing the life cycle of a bean plant.

And now for a look at information gathered during Thursday's Math Warm Up- "what do you know about the number 20?"

As the class grows more comfortable with subtraction we are able to have fun with a game in which you know the total and you can see what's left- the question is how many were taken away?
