working together as a large group…
playing partner games…
applying concepts learned to Center Time activities (sorting stuffed animals by attributes!)…
completing pages in our workbook...
…or singing catchy songs we definitely have a lot of Math fun each and every day.
Speaking of catchy songs! Check out the lyrics to Penny, Nickel, Dime! It is quite the hit in the Cottontail classroom. During yesterday's indoor lunch recess, I walked into the classroom (where the Cottontails were engaged in art activities) to hear the most beautiful Kindergarten rendition of our new coin song. While working together the Cottontails decided to sing our new, favorite song together. It was very sweet. Has your Kindergartener come home humming or singing our new tune? I sure have!
In addition, the Kindergarteners are so excited to have recently completed their first Math workbook. They are excited to share their work with you at upcoming conferences. As we finish Unit 2, we will take our first assessment. This assessment will help us further understand your child's math progress. We will also examine this assessment at your child's upcoming conference.
In the coming weeks, we will begin to focus on learning our basic math facts. I can tell that your child is eager to further understand the concepts of addition and subtraction. Look to the upcoming October / November newsletter for more information on upcoming Math units.
Finally, don't forget, Math Packets are due back to school each Friday. If you have questions or concerns about your child's Math Packet please let me know. Thanks for helping your child's love for Math grow. I am very proud of our mathematicians.
