Learning Observed

Today during Math Ella and Suri were provided with the choice of 3 activities. At the end of Math time they both bought their work to show me what they had been doing. Ella told me they had used two dice to create math problems and Suri told me how they had worked the answers out together. This was great use of time and excellent team work!
