Turtle Pond
We learned a new coding program. Turtle Pond from NCTM Illuminations gives the students an opportunity to practice math and computer science skills while having fun. We learned the program together as a group. There was a big cheer every time the turtle reached the pond. The students had a chance to try it on their own during centers. I was so proud of the students who persevered through many errors to accomplish their goal.

Kinder Concert
We attended a music concert for Kindergartners and 1st graders at Lincoln St Elementary today. The concert featured a quintet of string instruments. There were 2 violins, 1 cello, 1 bass and 1 viola. Before the concert started the students were able to see and hear a cello and bass up close. We learned the terms allegro and largo by listening to the story of the tortoise and the hare set to music.

Makerspace in Kindergarten
We had our second day of makerspace in Kindergarten today. The purpose of makerspace is to give students time and tools to explore what they can create. I record their creations by taking pictures. The follow up is to the first day of makerspace was to write about what they made and describe what it can do. Today their purpose was to explore three-dimensional shapes in their creations. This is the real-world application of what we are learning about in math. It gives them a chance to reason about the attributes of cubes, cylinders and rectangular prisms. They will write about their creations next week. The focus of the writing will be to describe yhe three-dimensional shapes that are in their creation. I have included a few photos of their creations.
