During Math time we have been reading Anno’s Counting Book which helped us learn number relationships by counting groups of objects. The children have applied this concept by drawing their own scenes to show groups of 2-5. I hope that you have asked your child to explain their scene drawings to you as they arrive home. We also used our math trays, mini square tiles and number tiles to build concepts of numbers 1-5 and to begin to add and subtract totals of 2 and 3. The children are reciting number poems to help them learn the proper formation of writing their numbers. We are having fun saying these poems while we use mini chalkboards, mini whiteboards and create rainbow writings of our numbers. So far we have learned poems for the numbers 0-5. This week we will learn the poems for numbers 6 & 7. Please ask your child to recite these number poems for you as they practice writing their numbers at home.
We have begun our Writer’s Workshop by having the children tell stories about themselves and things that they know and can do. The children are learning to use their storytelling voice (loud enough for the listener to hear) and to look at their audience. They are also learning to listen when others are telling stories. At home, you can support your child’s oral storytelling by telling stories yourself about things you know and can do (everyday events your child can relate to) and by asking your child to tell you the story they told at school. Help your child remember stories by practicing telling stories at home and encourage them to tell these stories at school. Have fun telling stories!
In our Reading Workshop time we explored concept books, books with things we know and can read, abc’s, numbers, shapes, colors, store and restaurant signs, food labels, etc. We also worked on looking at a books cover to learn what a book might be about. We continued to read and love our books!
