Grouping, Set design, and Creativity
Today we began exploring grouping or multiplication as a class. It was very interesting and logical to see that the children first thought to add the two numbers that were given instead of grouping them. They were persistent and determined to figure out what to do with the numbers after we read the story problem a few times. Joe, when we first started working, had already shown how to do the number story problem. I loved to see how he connected the numbers and knew how to work with them. It was so fun to see everyone’s thinking so clearly and see their determination shine through.
The children as well as me and Miss Jeffrey LOVED seeing all of the puppets come back to school today! They are SUPER creative,and the children were excited to show them off to each other. We are so excited to use them for our movie. A big thank you to YOU for helping with the puppet making process!
Selah, Zakeyah, and Joe started working on the set design for the movie today. They worked hard to make clouds, the school, rain, a window, and the beginnings of the tree. They were collaborating so well together and really focusing on creating a beautiful set for our puppet show! We will continue to work on the set throughout this week, and possibly start filming next week!
