After reading ‘The Wish Tree’ we talked about Birch trees (which I happen to have in my class because they are my favourite) we looked at the lines on the bark and then we made a beautiful watercolour picture of them using masking tape and sharpie markers 🌲

Learning how to recognize expression and label emotions evolved after reading the book ‘the colour monster’ - one of my favs! ❤️

Making learning visible is so rewarding, especially for children who get the opportunity to remind themselves how far they’ve come in their learning journey!

They often ask me if they can look at their binders. Today I listened carefully to their reflections and discussions they had about their learning. They spent an entire hour looking at their work! ❤️

Documentation is so powerful ❤️ The children love to reflect on it and remember what they did.

Subitizing! In such a fun way by rolling the dice and recording what they number saw. They then totalled up the score to see who got the most points 🎲 This game was all child directed with minimal teacher support #rollandrecord

This is such a nice way to start off the year. The children get to know each other better by pointing out the family members they have drawn in their pictures ❤️
