This week has been rich with counting opportunities.
We have been starting at different numbers and counting forward, noticing patterns in the counting sequence. You can do this at home, too. Start at any number, like 5, and count forward by one's. Can you count from five to twelve? Can you count from thirteen to twenty?
Morning Greeting
We have been finding a match using numbers and quantities. When you find your match, you sit elbow-to-elbow, knee-to-knee. You read your match to the group and then turn and greet.
Morning Message
We have been working together to figure out covered and missing numbers on our morning message.
Math Choice
We have been showing how many and showing number combinations during Math Choice. We can show how many and number combinations using number racks, our math hands, unifix cubes, and pattern block recording sheets.
Closing Circle
This week we began the process of sorting and counting our fairy house materials. Our read alouds have connected to building and collecting; builders collect materials to use for their structures.
We are builders.
Things we build;
our alphabet book!
friendship
community
classroom books
rules
words
nature journals
teaching books
TRUST (-Nikki!)
We are collectors.
Things we collect;
warm thoughts
rocks and gems
teeth (the ones we lose!)
LOVE
things from nature
things we make
We will continue to sort and count our collection of beautiful fairy house materials!
