Hello- This has been an exciting week at school. I have 25 kindergarten children who are working very hard to learn school procedures. We find we need a lot of repetition and practice! However, things are going much more smoothly than they did at the beginning of the school year.
We planned many activities around the theme of "apples." We read apple stories, made apple counting graphs, and observed apples during Science time. We worked in our "apple" journals as we measured and counted apples, and recorded observations. We can't wait to start our "pumpkin" unit.
We have been working on learning numbers 0-10 (counting and number recognition). We have been learning number songs and poems, and working with plenty of manipulatives- especially apple counters! We really enjoy reading number books while we illustrate the story with magnetic counters. The children also enjoy acting-out such stories as "Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed." Math is a good time to count/eat our various snacks such as Goldfish crackers.
