We are busily working on 1-12 counting books in math. We use stencils, rubber stamps, stickers and markers to represent each number on its own page. Sometimes we do tricky things like show 3 cars, 3 teddy bears and 3 hearts all on the three page. Just to make sure you know it's three, we then color in 3 cubes.
We are working in the counting jar. When we have 3 blue tiles and 5 red tiles, everyone is fairly clear that we have 8 tiles. But we're not quite sure if the answer stays the same when we count the red tiles first. Maybe when we count the blue tiles first things will change! Math is sooo tricky in kindergarten.
We managed to slip outside to make a sketch of a sunflower growing by our classroom on the only dry moment we've had this week. We brought our sketches in to water color. We hope to get them on display next week. We are so appreciative of BZ's parent volunteers who spend their Wednesday mornings displaying art work around our school.
We began Second Steps social curriculum by looking at pictures of children's facial expressions and describing how their eyes, mouth or body posture look when they feel happy, sad, scared, mad, surprised or disgusted by a situation.
We are adding lots of new sounds in Jolly Phonics and practicing many letters in Handwriting without Tears. We are reading simple predictable stories and learning sight words.
