First thing this morning I found Maxi and Ren having a conversation about Gingerbread men. I think this experience will stay with our class for a long time.
Continuing our work on self identity this week we are focusing on using play doh to create parts of our face. Looking carefully at our eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, ears and hair.
Where are they on our head?
What shape are our eyes etc.. ?
How do you make that shape using play doh?
Working with play doh inspired friends to create play doh cookies. We brought out the unicorn and rainbow cutters which were enthusiastically received.
Mila was very proud of her unicorn rainbow and star creation. Requesting that I take a picture
and share it. It reminds me of a piece of modern art you could find at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
We introduced a daily math challenge. Friends came over and counted how many items were in the jar. Recording their findings by writing their name and the number they counted.
Before P.E. we read
Leading on to our conversation
Ren: I watched a video about Martin Luther King Jr. He said black kids and white kids can
go to the same school.
Livio: Black kids and white kids are different colors, but they can go to the same school.
Max: That was in the old days ( seperate schools). Now it's different.
Jenna: The most important thing Martin Luther King Jr. did was he did the speech about "Dream!"
We will build on to this conversation as we move through the week.
QUESTIONS
