Week 2… complete!
I *think* I am starting to get in a routine and feeling a little more comfortable with things down in Kinder-Land!
This past week we started with more content and I really got to see how my littles are entering into this year! Some are right on target…. others are a little more advanced….. and well…. some have come in with not much previous experience or exposure…at all.
I’m not gonna lie…. I’m pretty sure “Jaws” was in our room this week with cutting, because let me tell you friends, some of these kinders and scissors…. yikes! There was shredded paper all over the place and literally, Jaws came and shredded their papers!
This was a great experience for me though, because it really brought me down to a kinder level and made me realize….yes, you have to explain, demonstrate, model, and repeat {for everything!} {REPEAT being the key word}
So, this week in Math was all about numbers…. 0-5 to be more specific! Let me just say, I absolutely LOVE the content and concepts that are taught in kindergarten. Their little eyes witnessing everything for the first time, some shouting out the answers because they are so darn proud of themselves for already knowing, and then the deer in headlights look from others, {which makes me proud too because I know I get to really work with them this year to get them up to speed!}
Back to Numbers….
I really wanted to come up with something that had my kinders making a connection and relating to these numbers so they stick and they retain the information! So…. “Number Pals” was created!
Super cute freebie! I want to teach kindergarten so badly! I would really love to do a kinder to first loop!
These are all so fabulous! Can't wait to use the freebie when we start introducing numbers! 🙂
