Learning to Work as a Group!

This week in Room 8, we have been engaging in many different small group activities.  At this age, it is important for children to learn to work with others.  They need to know how to adjust to new personalities, to problem-solve, to compromise, and to collaborate.  It's never too early to work on these important life skills!

During these activities, children are practicing how to handle classroom materials, how to use quiet voices when working together, how to rotate through stations, and how to monitor their level of focus.  The pictures posted below are of the students playing a place value game for math as well as various language arts center activities.
