Last week we started adding partner games to our Math Daily 5. Taking a few minutes each day to play math games is not only fun for the kids, but it helps them practice the skills we're learning in a hands-on way. Starting this week, I'll be sending home directions to the games we play in class, that way you can reinforce what the kids are learning at home.
Last week we also had our first Star Student of the year. As I explained during our Parent Information Night, each child in our class will have the opportunity to be the Star Student. I simply pull a name out of our jar, and that child gets the honor of being the Star Student. Claire was our first Star Student of the year. She got to share her Star Student board with us on Monday (see below), read a picture book to the class on Tuesday, have a special letter written by her parents sent to school on Wednesday, and have a lunch date with her mom on Thursday. Claire ended the week by getting to have all of her classmates write a letter to her. We had a terrific time getting to know Claire better!
