We continued to practice counting objects and recording totals. One day students counted different materials inside a bag to take “inventory”. They carefully counted the total, drew a clear picture to represent what was inside, and recorded the number. Students practiced showing totals using ten frames so they could organize amounts. They also ordered numbers from least to greatest. We continue to practice counting forward starting at different numbers and showing finger patterns every day.

Social Studies 

We are focusing on what courage means this month. We read many stories that focus on this theme. Mrs. Cowan, the PE teacher, joined us for morning meeting today. We read the book Super Manny Stands Up and discussed how that character was courageous. We talked about how you can be brave and stand up for others when you notice people not treating others with kindness. The children decorated bobcat paw prints with pictures and colors that represent the brave helpers they are at UCS. We will display these around the school to show our caring and courageous community.
