Around the room

We are counting to 100 every day in school, and if your child can count to 100 all by themselves (without prompting) their name goes up on this display and they get to go into the treasure box.


There have been more names added since this pic!

We are also continually working on number sense.  Not all children who come to kindergarten counting to 5 or 10 or more have a good understanding of what the numbers mean. They are also unsure of how to sequence sets of numbers. For example: students need to have many experiences playing with five objects to build up an intuitive understanding of the number 5.

Here is a number sense activity:

Bulldog tokens were getting misplaced or lost and Carlos's mom made this wonderful token display (Mrs. O'connor had it on her wall, thank you fellow k-teacher!) and now our Bulldog tokens are safe and sound!If you don't know what Bulldog tokens are, they are a school wide incentive that rewards students caught being a great Bulldog!

Every Monday we choose new classroom helpers. Usually the star of the week is the line leader. Our students love having a job and they rise to the challenge by being responsible!

Here Emma found a 3-d shape after learning about 3d shapes. Look for the 3d shapes rap on youtube, they know it very well!
