Friendship project!
Hello hello! Happy Monday to you all. So, today I posed the question “What is friendship?” I heard many thoughtful responses like Jonah who said, “It is to not be not nice to people.” Many of the responses included to the words “nice” and “help” which I found interesting. We are going to continue to explore this idea of friendship and giving until the holiday break and maybe even after so I look forward to seeing their ideas grow about what friendship means.
We started to play this new game called “Burglar!” today during Math Workshop. The partner team first had to put cards in order 1-20. Then while one person closed their eyes, a “burglar” came and took three cards away. Then the other person opened their eyes and had to tell which three cards the “burglar” took. The children LOVED this game. I haven’t seen them this engaged in a math game in a while so it was fun to see them doing math in such an engaging way!
We played “Build-a-Man” today (usually referred to Hangman, but I don’t like that name of the game) as a transition activity today, and it was so fun that there were two groups of four that decided to play it the whole time during free choice today! How fun!
