Numbers and Counting

 Numbers


Similar to letters, we talk about and work on numbers throughout the entire day.  Examples of some of the many number activities that we do during the day are: We count how many kids are at circle, how many are at home and compare the numbers.  Many of our morning messages include numbers and counting.  A frequent activity during snack and lunch is counting snack items (4 crackers, 5 apple slices...). We talk about our ages, whose older and younger, how many 4 year olds we have, are there more 3, 4, or 5 year olds...  We count to 20 or 10 twice with the kids when they washing their hands.  The kids enjoy reading books about numbers and counting things in books.  There are an endless number of activities we do every day to help the kids learn to count and identify numbers in fun ways.

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.
