Background

We played a game today in which students looked at a huge selection of picture cards, and then took turns making groups with them as the rest of us tried to guess why those things formed a group. For example, Hunter stumped us by putting together a boy, girl, car, cow, pig, etc. He finally had to tell us that they were all things that move. We had a social studies lesson about friends enjoying different games. If a friend is playing something different, it's not because they don't like you, it might simply be that they want to play a different game. We learned that it's okay to keep playing the game you like best, but tell your friend you'll play with them later (not now; maybe later). Students traced the wooden, 3-dimensional geometric shapes and labeled them. Next, they matched the print to the shape that could have left the print. In writing, students created an acrostic poem with their name.
