Math in January!

We have had a busy month learning all about numbers, shapes, and coins!

Most of The Marchese Clowns can...

• count to 100
• recognize the numbers 0-20
• identify the coins (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter)
• idnetify 2D shapes (circle, oval, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and hexagon)

We practice math all day....starting with the calendar!

During our "Math Lesson" time we also have Math Stations...t

he students love Math Stations!

Look what we have been doing the last few weeks!

We can count objects to 20....This is a "large tower" with MORE than 20.

We are counting by 5s and 10s to 100...our sock clothesline goes to 27 so far...

This game is called Beat you to 20.

The students love to compare numbers...

the student with the highest numbered card gets

to keep the cards. This is a fun game to play at home, too!

 A few of our SHAPE ROBOTS! They were fun to make...

and we know all the shapes we used to make them!

Can you find a rhombus?

Can you find a trapezoid or a hexagon?

 More shape fun with the polydrons.....

We have just started learning about money.

This poem helps us remember how much each coin is worth...

This game is very popular in Math Stations....we have learned to trade five pennies for a nickel!

Beat you to 15 cents!

The Marchese Clowns are great Mathematicians!

I am so proud of their progress in kindergarten!

A few other activities we have completed this month...

 We made snowmen featuring our last names!

 Maeve's cirlce map ~ Winter!

We can sound out CVC words....a great skill to practice at home.
We love to sound out non-sense words, as well as real words!

 In Science, we have learned about space ~ and all about the day & night!
12 children like the Day the best!
5 children like the Night the best!

We love our Smartboard....we were playing SNAP! this day!

SNAP! can be found on http://www.literactive.com/

My next post will be all about our 100th day of kindergarten on Thursday, January 3rd!
We will have a BLAST!
