Gaining Confidence as Readers. Mathematicians and Embroiderers?

Yes!  It's true, this week the children added a new super power to their reading arsenal- Partner Power!  This power invokes the old adage, "two heads are better than one" as pairs of students support one another in looking at every word and utilize all their skills to read.  Have a look...

In Math this week the children stretched their understanding of shapes to include 3 Dimensional Shapes.  Below you can see us making spheres with playdough and learning to draw cubes and rectangular prisms.

Amidst all our work in Literacy and Math we are still making time for exploring history through some hands-on activities.  Below you can see classmates taking their time (and taking a break) from the precise work of embroidery.  Sewing and weaving have been a wonderful addition to our quiet time routine.
