Tuesday March 3rd : Representing the number 9

Table Time learning activities continue

Table One

Table Two: Fine Motor Challenge

Beat the timer: Can you move all the "eggs" (pompoms) from one nest to the other nest before the time runs out using only your "beak" (tweezers / tongs)?

Table Three:  Colour by Number

recognizing numerals /  using our colouring rubric

"What does high quality colouring look like?"

I colour inside the lines

I cover all the white spaces

My colours make sense

Table Four:  Guided reading with Mrs. Dennis

 Amazing AM / PM Rock Stars

Congratulations to AM Rock Star Sophie.  Sophie did not bring her items to show today but she did opt to speak about the groups she belongs to.  Sophie shared that she belongs to a baseball team and several dance groups including ballet, tap and jazz.  Her favourite is ballet because it is slow.  Sophie finished her presentation in dancer form, with a curtsy.

Our Learning Job today:  What does 9 look like?

Students worked in their Math books today to represent the number nine in a variety of ways:  numeral, word, number line, tally marks, ten frame, picture, fingers and through number pairs.

Students used their Shake It / Draw It / Write it template to record as many different number pairs that make nine as they could.  Great job kindergarten.

Thank you Rock Star Brielle for sharing the groups that you belong to with PM kindergarten.  Brielle spoke about one particular group, her gymnastics club.  Brielle answered many questions and gave a demonstration of a shape jump (star jump). 

Parent Reminders:  This Friday is PM kindergarten
