Cooperation was the theme for us today.\u00a0 As I shared yesterday, we have been focusing a lot on working as a team to build our classroom community.\u00a0 Today, I have a story to share from Math Workshop.\u00a0 This afternoon, the kids were given base ten blocks to work with and explore.\u00a0 I challenged them to find a way to use the new material mathematically.\u00a0 What would a mathematician do with these things?\u00a0 As I moved around the group, I noticed that Oliver and Melina were working together with their base ten blocks.\u00a0 Both Oliver and Melina were counting their blocks separately and I challenged them to work together to add them up.\u00a0 As I watched, the two worked together to figure out how to maneuver\u00a0 their blocks and work together to solve the problem.\u00a0 They were kind, helpful, and overall happy to be working together.<\/p>\n

While this is only one snapshot of the day, our classroom was filled with these!\u00a0 I feel like each time I listened in on a conversation kids were working together and helping others.\u00a0 They were genuinely happy to work with new friends and took on the challenge to do so.\u00a0 I am so proud of our friends and cannot wait for another day to witness more stories like the one above!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
