Constructing a Road

Three students worked cooperatively together and used blocks to build a road for the trucks. They needed the road because "trucks drive on the road!"

Reading Buddies (AM Class)

Every Day 2, our morning Kindergarten class has reading buddies with a Grade 2 class. Each Kindergarten student is  paired with a Grade 2 student, who reads simple stories to our Kindergarten children. We usually begin our Reading Buddy session with a story or interactive activity. Today we talked about patterns and used the students to create a tall, short pattern.

 

The students then separated into their reading buddy pairings. The grade 2 students encourage the Kindergarten students to follow the story with their finger, and use pictures to talk about the story. The Grade 2 teacher and I walk around and talk to the different groups about what they are learning.
