The preschoolers have been practicing one-to-one correspondence. It is important to always start at the top and count left to right. When we reach the end of a row we need to start back at the beginning of the next row. Teaching children a method for counting can help with accuracy. It is easy to forget which objects we have counted when we are just pointing in any order we want! We rolled the dice, counted how many we got, then counted using our magic finger to discover which animal we needed to color. This is a really important foundational skill for math in general. Games such as Candyland, Monopoly, and Chutes & Ladders are great ways to practice one-to-one correspondence. Any time a child has to count objects individually is a GREAT way to practice at home!
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 practiced some of our Kindergarten skills as we listened and followed directions during our writing activity in Pre-K. Following multi-step directions in a classroom setting is a critical skill for young ones to develop to become successful in the classroom. This was a CHALLENGE today, but with our continued practice, we are surely to become pros!

The preschoolers used those listening ears to see how well they could follow directions this morning. We practiced letter recognition, letter sounds, crayon grip, and fine motor skills while we were at it!
