Today we spent the day reviewing what readers workshop looks and sounds like and developing other Hero Habits in our classroom. The children discovered what it means to be a mathematician-one who thinks about numbers, shows numbers in many ways, loves math, etc.-and began their math journals. These journals will track our growth as mathematicians. Each day we begin with the simple word problem and have a math meeting to share how we solved the questions. The best part is the sharing of our thinking. We learn very quickly that mathematicians can think about numbers in a variety of ways.
We read several books today including "The Quiet Book" and "Who Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Jar". The children very quickly picked up on patterns and started using the pictures to help them decode unknown words. We have some rock star readers in Kindergarten!
Yesterday was a blast as we opened our first learning centers, blocks and kitchen. Check out our pictures as we learned to take turns and share together!
