Out Toolbelts

Constable Kovacs was in this morning to talk about tools we all have for coping and managing stress.  He introduced to us all the tools he has on his duty belt to help him do his job and then he told us about the tools he was born with (brain, eyes, hands, heart) that assist him in his job.  He helped students recognize the tools that they have to help deal with their emotions and read us a story.  Ask your child what tools they have for dealing with stress.

We read 'One Hundred Hungry Ants' in math to explore the different ways 100 ants could get to a picnic before the food was all gone.  Students then worked with the number 20 to see how the ants could be organized into one line, two lines, three lines etc up to 10 lines.  Students were then able to challenge themselves with their own number.  This allows me to see that your student is able to share items out equally and that they can see not all numbers can be divided equally.
