Good Afternoon!
Evie dealt with greater than, less than, or equal to signs during her kindergarten sign in. She identified two numbers and had to determine which number was bigger. She chose the sign to put in between the two numbers. An easy way for children at this age to understand the concept is to use an alligator mouth; the alligators mouth always eats the bigger number!
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.
We read, ‘The Rabbit Listened’ in K/PREK1 which was a story about feelings emotions. At the end of the story, friends shared what they took away from the story: “The bunny listened to Taylor!” was a comment that I heard several times.
Afterwards, we talked about the characters, setting, and events that made up the storyline. Friends were eager to share their comments and answers!
K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g., characters, settings, or events).
In PREK2, children used popsicle sticks to identify which group had more and which group had less. They also talked about the phrase ‘equal to’ when dealing with two groups.
Evie and Daniel explored the sketching books this morning. Children love the step by step directions that are easily followed, especially when it’s a challenging drawing! These types of books offer children assistance and guidance but also an opportunity for imagination.
