BreAnna and Dorothy are busy telling time.

We have been making a lot of progress in Math Workshop.  As we finish up learning about time, the kids are so happy to know that they can almost take their clocks home!  Today, the kids used their clocks to quiz each other on different times.  It was so great to walk around and hear, “Ok…here is a hard one….show me 7:30!”  They liked to challenge each other and see how far they could push on another!

Look at Salih and Selah work together!!

While working together in math was impressive, I was blown away to see how well the kids worked together in yoga!  Today Mrs. Williams taught us a series of partner poses.  Each pose required partners to work together and trust one another.  While I knew our classroom community was strong I was so pleased to see each and every partner working.  They were not questioning, arguing, or fighting.  They were all working together!  I even told the kids, “If I had any more marbles to give you I would!”  (too bad we just earned our marble party yesterday!)
