Thinking and Learning Time Week of September 16

What a great week of learning we had during thinking and learning time!
This week we continued to strengthen our science, observation and fine motor skills by using tweezers to extract sunflower seeds and create a diagram of a sunflower. They turned out beautifully and are now hanging in our classroom!

 

Below learners continue to strengthen fine motor skills by pin punching an elaborate sunflower. They absolutely LOVE this work!

Below you see readers looking closely to differentiate between upper and lower case letters. These thinkers are tasked with coloring in upper and lower case letters and hole punching out the letters that don't match. It is so awesome to watch them work so carefully!

Below you will see learners matching friends pictures to their names. This work helps them slow down and look closely at how letters come together to make words. The best way to engage children is to present them with work that is meaningful and relevant to their lives.

I have so enjoyed listening to these Fawn Friends discuss and have conversations around their thinking and learning!
