Today we practiced numbers 1,2, and 3!
Ms. Katy lead a Number Hunt on our Smartboard in search for all the number 1’s. The preschoolers strengthened their fine motor muscles and practiced drawing circles during their hunt.
We worked with 1, 2, and 3 while practicing Slap-a-Number from our homework folder activities.
We ended our day of number fun by watching “10 Little Numbers.” The preschoolers LOVE watching videos on the Smartboard and these songs are a great way to help your little one learn letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. They are fun, educational, and easy to search on YouTube!
We reviewed number recognition and worked on one to one correspondence during math groups today. The children did a wonderful job, a great way to start the year.
We began reviewing our numbers 1-10 and one to one correspondence in our math groups today…hawaiian style.
Today we reviewed our numbers 11-20, practiced our counting and one to one correspondence skills….recycling style. These are important activities to continue to review throughout the summer!
Today, we continued to work on our numbers, focusing on 11-20. As the children rolled the die, they turned the number number they rolled into a higher number by placing a one in front of it. For example, if they rolled a six, it would become sixteen. This was a new and exciting way to practice our numbers!
We also practiced our number recognition and one-to-one correspondence. The boys and girls picked a number, then put the corresponding frogs onto their lily pads.
A new month means a new theme: Go Green! As we learn about recycling, the children explore the new activities in each center. We spent time today learning about the new activities and how they are used.
Our focus during small groups today was one to one correspondence and number recognition of numbers zero through twenty.
Understanding the one-to-one correspondence of object to object is necessary before a child can carry out meaningful counting and higher calculations.
Children can find many opportunities in their daily life to experience one-to-one correspondence. They can place one sock inside one shoe or one shoe on one foot; they can get one napkin or snack for each member of the family or class; they can place one lid on each of several containers; they can place pieces in one-piece puzzles.
Many experts believe that rote memorization of a set of numbers is meaningless. Once children understand the relationship of one to one correspondence, they can link one number with one object and then count with understanding.
Today, the boys and girls practiced counting, tracing and writing the number 18. With all of the loops and turns involved, it proved to be a tricky one! When making the 8, it help the children to identify the letter “s” that is made when half of the 8 is written. After realizing this, the boys and girls became masters of 18 in no time!
