Adding the Final Touch

The children read their counting books to each other, and have added a final touch, silver paint snowflakes to add to the authentic Arctic or Antarctic feel.  

Until Next Time,

Project Based Learning

This week we read a beautiful counting book about animals in the snow, and have created our own counting books to showcase our number knowledge as well as our knowledge of the arctic and antarctic.  The children referred to reference books, their own memories, and a list of animals on the board to complete their books.

Until Next Time,
Michele

Playing and Making Games

We do a unit about board games in KMath, as a culminating event in math skills acquisition. The children each plan and make a board game after we talk about what a game needs to be played. All of the games are tried, some are very successful and some need some narration, but there is great pride for each child with regards to innovation, story, and colorful work!
