My First Day of Grade One Portraits.
For many, the first few days school can be both exciting and worrisome! Students enjoyed listening to the story, Alma & The Worry Stone. It is Alma’s first day at school and she is filled with anxiety and fright. When Alma found herself in anxiety’s brace, she pulled out her worry stone and found her brave face! After reading the story, we made our own Worry Stones out of Polymer Clay.
Math talks help Grade 1 students think about numbers in different ways, share their ideas, and learn from each other. They build confidence, reasoning skills, and make math fun for everyone!
