Water, Soap, Water, Counter (revisited)

For some time now, Rainey Room has been working on taking personal responsibility during snack time. A while back, Jane and Maxon taught us how to wash our plates and we came up with the phrase "water, soap, water, counter" to remember. In addition to that mantra, we have also been working on a sign everyone can understand. We continued by taking pictures at snack.

We have to make a list to help us remember - Janie

Once we took the pictures, the children uploaded the pictures onto the classroom computer and chose which ones made the most sense.
​
"That one looks like water" - Jane
"Not that one, thats Jordan's leg" - Audrey

For some of us, it was our first time using a mouse. We moved our pictures into a new folder so we could start organizing our work.

​
I want to try - Audrey
The mouse is cute - Janie

I have a printer at home - Lucia

We decided that our next step was to cut out the pictures so that there was no more white in them.

We don't want white, just the pictures - Lucia
I can help you cut. Oops I cut the pictures. That's ok - Maxon

Once we had all the pictures cut the way we wanted, we had to organize them into a list everyone could understand. We discussed and argued for some time before we found a solution that made sense for everyone.

How did you print these pictures of our work ?- Jane
That's a picture of me - Maxon
They came from us - Sylvie
That we're working on it to remember - Jane
Put (the pictures of) soap together - Janie

Can I put up a picture? - Sylvie
"Counter" should go last - Audrey

Does this plan make sense to everyone? - Jordan
That's "water, soap, water, counter" - Jane

Our first completed draft!
