Visualizing

Jaxson brought in a very special "Sign Of Spring" for the blue group to see. We put the nest and egg under the document camera to take a closer look!

During K/1 time, we practised visualizing and describing skills. Grade 1 buddies described a picture to their K buddy, and the K buddy had to try to make a picture in their mind and ask questions to help them visualize the image. Then students switched, having the K buddy tell their Grade 1 buddy about a picture. Both groups did a great job! We then took this activity to the tables with lego, having one buddy build a tower and have to describe how to build it to their buddy without them seeing the tower. The kids had a great time trying this out, and realized it was harder than they thought!
