Every day, morning meeting begins with a different greeting. Today we did the spiderweb greeting, which is a little tough but always a big hit. It begins by one child holding a ball of yarn, saying "Good morning" to someone across the circle, and rolling the ball to that person. Everyone holds a bit of yarn, so it ends up being a big web at the end. Kids love it! The math chart below shows the eyes of all kids in the class. With each set of eyes we added to the chart, that child got to count first how many people, then how many eyes total. Pretty quickly some kids developed some strategies for predicting how many eyes a certain number of people would have.
Today in math we drew self portraits. These will be used throughout the next couple of days for sorting. Kids will sort portraits in piles of "x" and "not x," ie: brown hair and not brown hair.
