Monday Musical Math!!

Each seat was set up with a math card with objects ranging from 9-19 circles or squares. A dry erase board was also set up. The students walked around the table to music, and when the music stopped, the child had to find a seat. They counted the objects and wrote the number three times on the dry erase board.

Counting Cubes

In math, we use a variety of hands-on manipulatives to help us count using one-to-one correspondence. At home, try counting with your child. Can they count 20 objects and say 1 number for each object?

Math Partner Game

Students selected a partner. They each picked a number tile. Then they filled in the game board using color tiles. They counted the total and raced to put their finger on the correct total number. They played several times while practicing their numeral recognition.

Parent Visitation Day on Monday

Just a reminder that we will be having our family visitation day on Monday from 1:30-3:00. We will have stations set up in Mrs. O'Connor's classroom, the art room, as well as my classroom. Children will be decorating their Native American costume, making placemats, wompums, and headdresses.

Let's Learn the Teen Numbers

This past week, we introduced numbers 11-15. We practiced counting sets of objects, writing the numbers, and filling in a ten frame using counters. We will be learning numbers up to 20 this week.

At home extension: You could practice these numbers at home. Practice counting out toys and writing the numeral that goes with it. You could also make flash cards to aid in numeral identification.

Voting

We learned about election day today. We watched the video based on the book Duck for President. We talked about how people vote using a ballot. Then we had our own classroom vote. Each child received one m&m and one skittle. Then they visited the voting booth in the classroom to place their vote. We shared the results as a whole class. Skittle won by a landslide!!

Halloween Party

The children made spooky ghosts!

They played bingo using candy corn.

The children had a great time at the Halloween party. They made a ghost, played bingo, participated in pumpkin bowling, and ate a special treat. Thank you to all the families who made this wonderful party possible!!
