I have been so impressed this year with the way in which students have taken an assertive role in integrating math and other subjects areas into their daily routines. For example, at snack each day students will take a verbal survey in which they compare how many people have cheese sticks, applesauce, or any of the other healthy goodies you provide each day! It is so nice to hear students engage in conversations about their snacks as well as track the amount.
To celebrate and expand upon this learning we have begun to record results using tally marks. Some students have begun using our counting on strategy to track snacks. Other Students who finish snack early have chosen to illustrate their findings or represent it using math manipulatives.
For me, this seamless connection students have discovered is very exciting. It is so thrilling to see such curiosity and creativity in your children. Have a wonderful week!
