Busy Weeks

10/8/2011

 
Picture
We have had several busy weeks. I am very much enjoying the children. Here is a look at our time together. Look for more regular blog posts now that I've figured it out. Thank you so much for your patience!

Here, T sets out the cards used to form complex numbers. (numbers in the thousands) Setting them out reinforces them in his mind as he counts 1 unit, 2 units, 3 units and so on to 9; then 1 ten, 2 tens, 3 tens, ...9 tens, 1 hundred, 2 hundreds...


Picture
...and finally 1000. He has already set out the matching golden beads.
It also gives him good counting practice.

Picture
J writes words with the phonogram, "sh". The 2 different colored alphabets help to highlight the "sh".

Picture
E builds the Binomial Cube, a very popular activity.

Picture
E and E enjoy eating lunch together.

Picture
J, B and M are hungry after time in the garden.

Picture
Hungry children are practicing grace and courtesy, waiting for all to be ready before eating. As they prepare for eating, enjoy the meal and then clean up, - their are experiencing the full cycle of the meal -the candles, flowers, napkins, placecards, dishes, and tablecloths don't just appear on the tables, children put them there and each child takes part in putting them away. Together, we are a community.

Picture
S has just finished the challenge of building the Binomial Cube wearing a blindfold. That grin says it all!

Picture
E grades the color tablets from dark to light in 9 colors.

Picture
E draws with chalk.

Picture
B writes words, breaking them down into sounds and finding  each letter.

Picture
M checks her progress as she sorts the beads into the small bowls wearing a blindfold.

Picture

J is making 78 with the cards on the ten boards and with the beads next to it. As he does, he sees both the symbol (numeral) and the quantity in beads.

Picture
A chooses a South American flag to copy and fill in. As he does, he is strengthening his hand for writing as well as becoming familiar with the flags of many countries.

Picture
Everyone loves music with Ms Julie on Tuesdays!
