We practiced one to one correspondence in our Math Study group today as well as number recognition review. These are important foundational skills we will need for the start of our Kindergarten year!
We found a pot that our leprechaun left behind in one of our St Patrick’s Day Small Groups! Check out what we found inside!

Eating the Colors of the Rainbow! We ate every color of the rainbow during snack time…even if we thought we “didn’t like it,” everyone tried one bite of each color. Many of us learned that we like some new fruits today…AND never to be afraid of trying something new! You may love it and be missing out!
We have reached week 3 of our school year!! Yay!! Today the children listened to a read aloud called “All About You.” We talked about where we live, what we wear, who we live with, what we eat, etc. The children are currently learning the color red and the letter “R.” During group time, I had a bin with various items, and the children had to identify which items were red. During small groups, we painted rainbows (for the letter “R”) for our ABC book we will be working on throughout the year. They also painted a muffin tin and printed it on paper for the art show in March. The children worked on our numbers for the month (number recognition 1-3). They also practiced one-to-one correspondence and fine motor skills with pipe cleaners and colanders. The playground has a new feature that the children absolutely LOVE: a sandbox!! Check out all of the fun photos from our day!

Our class is traveling to the Great Barrier Reef this month as we visit Australia during our country studies. After learning about the difference between an octopus and a squid, we dove straight into our small math groups today and worked on number recognition and one to one correspondence.
The best way a child learns at an early age is through song or rhyme. We introduced number formation 0-9 today through number rhymes. We will be using these rhymes all year to help your child remember the proper way to write their numbers. In a few weeks you will be recieving a packet of number formation rhymes along with a “squishy bag” so you an practice at home. Remember, learning can be fun!
This week during group we have been reading the book Fish Eyes. The children love interacting and counting the fish as Ms. Bree-anna turns each page. The boys and girls took turns placing numbers by the matching fish.
We focused last week on number words while reading the book, Lost Feathers by Bruce Larkin. Our week was full of number word activities including coloring by number word and graphing a number word. We are becoming better readers every day in preparation for Kindergarten! Kindergarten Here We Come!
Our focus this week will be number words. We will be reading the book, Lost Feathers, by Bruce Larkin to become familiar with number words in text. Today we started it off by building, tracing and writing number words one and two. We will continue to number ten throughout the week.
