And so it begins…it’s October in Kindergarten! Hopefully today your ch
ild brought home their October calendar – with a scary or silly Jack-o-lantern on it. Today, we not only made new calendars, but we took down our September calendar and looked at the temperature chart to predict October’s weather.
Taking down the classroom calendar every month is an important Everyday Math lesson. Children are asked questions and each given a turn to take off a number or numbers in answer to those questions. For example, a child might be asked to “Take off all the Mondays in the Month.” Or “Take off a number with 2 digits,” or “Take off the number for yesterday” or “Take off the number for days we did not go to school,” etc. etc. Questions can be individualized to the abilities of each child.
Thank you for bringing in apples today. We sorted apples by color, size and stem/no stem. We will be making a special treat with them later this week! 🙂
Ask your child to tell you what they painted in Art Class today.
