Guided Discovery & Exploration

Core 1 is becoming more familiar with the routines and materials in the classroom so we can be independent and creative thinkers. We have also been focusing on our community so we can support one another in our endeavors and everyday living. Enjoy taking a look into our classroom, and reading some of the ideas we have come up with this week.

BUILDING Our Core 1 Community
"Veeeruuuum. Beep! Beep!"





COUNTING Collections
"10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60...61, 62, 63. 63!"
"We made stacks of 10 and then counted by 10's"
"We have 266 in our collection."










CREATING Independence
"I've been an artist forever."
"It's a sunset over the ocean."
"I'm making this for my mom."
"I used symmetry!"








EXPLORING New ideas
"We're toasting marshmallows, and making s'mores!"
"I'm 63 cubes tall!"
"We need support to build our bridge."
"This is the longest wall we've ever done."
"I'm building by 2's"
"We are going to build a tower of 100."
