But I was able to get through a read aloud without coughing! Yay!
I wanted to share some of our recent math word problems (3-Phase Lesson).
I started to "assess" the students' work more like they would be assessed in kindergarten as we head towards our final trimester.
1: Attempted to solve problem.
2: Understood part of the problem and/or may have made an error.
3: Understood and was able to solve/show problem.
4: Explained their thinking.
After our field trip to the Skirball:
Some kids went to the Skirball Museum.
They had fun.
Draw the kids.
How many kids went to the Skirball?
How do you know?

| So excited that Nadia was able to explain more! |
Last week's problem focused on measurement and ordering.
We will be transitioning to Math Problem Solving Journals for our last trimester so the students will be familiar with them when they enter Kindergarten. Our school is implementing Problem Solving Journals. Excited to see what they can do and the progress they will make as we head towards the homestretch! They have come such a long way!

Nicolas will be in our class again next year. He was 3 when we started and just turned 4, but has grown so much! He drew the three figures in different order, but was able to show his understanding of measurement.
 |
| Ethan lined up his three figures in order. |
 |
| Emely used the correct math word to compare the three. |
I had to share Juan's work. It wasn't about the word problem.
It was about the oral language he used to describe his picture.
At the beginning of the year, he rarely spoke a word.
Now, he can speak in phrases and complete sentences that we can understand!
