As I looked through my photos from the week I was struck by the different modes of learning that the children are engaged with. While we're always "working harder to get smarter", we know that everyone learns best in different ways AND that being challenged builds stamina. Miss Smith has been leading the charge of explaining the importance of a Growth Mindset with the children. Here is a look at their "Yes You Can" flowers- "blooming" with strategies for how to persevere in the face of a challenge.
In Math our learning is often very hands on. Here you can see an addition based dice game that "adds up" to a decorated Haunted House and using 10 frame puzzles to show different ways to make 10.
In Literacy our work often involves communicating ideas with words and pictures as we become a classroom of readers and writers. Here you can see the word books and the poetry journals we are building.
Even through exploration of materials, children are working on patterns and geometry.
Of course stories can come to life when play is encouraged and authentic materials are available. Exploring props from The Ox Cart Man helps learn language and history.
