Good Afternoon!
**Over the next few weeks, please bring your child in clothing appropriate for the fall and teachers will send home summer clothes. Please look in your child’s cubby for clothes to take home. Thanks!

Mack and Evie used alligator mouths to complete problems using the terms ‘greater than’, ‘less than’, and ‘equal to’. I use alligator mouths as an analogy because its a simple concept that children come to understand: an alligator would much rather have ten pieces of cake than five pieces of cake (meaning that the mouth is open to the 10).
We extended this activity into K/PREK1 group as each member got to choose two numbers. We used the alligator mouths to see which way the sign would be pointing. We came to the last problem where we realized that the two numbers were the same, which required an equal sign!
K.NS.7: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.
The rest of our day revolved on engaging indoor activities and absolutely gorgeous weather. We love when we get to explore our outdoor environment.
