Hello Hello! I had such a great time at Exhibition the last two nights! I was beyond proud and impressed by the kids and by you all! I loved getting to hear the students share all of their hard work, and I was so impressed by the caliber of questions that the adults in the room were asking. Everywhere I looked parents and guests were engaged in what students were sharing! I can’t thank you enough for all of the support you give your kids, and the thoughtfulness that you brought to Exhibition. We will be getting back into a more regular routine over the next few days, along with some reflection and celebration of all of their hard work preparing and presenting at Exhibition. One thing we have added to our routine the last few weeks are math games! So far we have learned Pyramid 10 (a fun game that helps students practice making 10s) and by the end of the week, all students will have learned a game that we call “Place Value Party.” These would be great games to play at home as well if you feel that your student could use extra support in making tens or understanding place value. Place Value Party (this game is very similar to several dice games that you may have played with your student) All you need is a deck of cards and 2 white pieces of paper
**You could add a written element by having the student record the two numbers along with a greater than or less than sign I know that I said I would have the interviews that we did at the beginning of the year up a long time ago, but finding the time to edit them has been a bit hard. I will try to get them up soon, but in the mean time, Story Corp has actually begun a really great program that allows for younger kids to record on their app. I would love to encourage you to check this out, and think about doing some interviews of family members over Thanksgivign Break. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, and a restful break!
