3-D Robot Project

This week we will start our 3-D robot project. Please send in clean small boxes, tissue rolls, tissue boxes and any 3-D shape containers.

Thank you!

Math Activities

Mathematics starts with COUNTING. Let children count all kinds of things they see or use and have FUN!

Use simple counting games, such as:

  1. Have a deck of regular playing cards minus the picture cards. Each person draws a card. The one with a higher number wins all the cards played in that round. This can teach both number recognition and counting, because the child can count those little pictures (hearts, spades, clubs, or diamonds) on the card.
  2. Lay a bunch of dominoes face down on the table. A child picks one, you pick one. The person with a higher "dot-count" gets both dominoes.
  3. Lay a bunch of dominoes face UP on the table. A child picks one and places it on the table to start the "train". The next person picks one so that its end matches one end of a domino already laid.
  4. Play with marbles or blocks or similar objects. You take some objects, and ask the child to take for himself/herself as many as you have AND ONE more. Then it's the child's turn to take some, and you need to take the same amount plus one more. Reverse the game later to do ONE LESS.
  5. Use any board game. When the markers advance as a die or dice shows. The child will need to count the dots on the die or dice, and then count steps to move his/her marker.

Show and Tell
















Through "Show and Tell", students develop language skills such as speaking to an audience, asking questions (using who, when, what, where and how), providing answers and descriptions. But most important skill of all, SHARING!






































Read, Write Inc.























Decoding the RED WORDS can be tricky. Students are learning them and having fun with friends through games.
