Math stations this week have been so much fun! We have been working on subitizing, greater than less than, representing 0-10, Beat you to 10, and creating patterns.

@michelleb133 I have 1 metal wire basket for each table on the counter in my room. Every morning they place their water bottle in them. They have access to them all day, but it keeps accidents to a minimum and easy clean up. They only have them at their tables during snack and after recess.

This week in science we learned about living vs non-living. For or Friday lab these Grizzlies compared a gummy worm to an earth worm to determine which worm is living and which is non-living. 🪱

[Mrs. V’s Crew 🌻 @MrsVandergraaf]

These Grizzlies have been working hard all week to retell the story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears using the 5 finger retell with illustrations and labeling.

[Mrs. V’s Crew 🌻 @MrsVandergraaf]

Student led learning for the first time this week and these Kinder Grizzlies loved it! 🐻
