Happy Friday!

We ended our week by working with one to one correspondence during our PREK1 group sign in activity. Each group member came to the board where they found their name and if they were able, identified the number. Next, they looked on a tray with several notecards with various number configurations on each card. They sorted through the cards to find the card that matched their number.

K.NS.5: Count up to 20 objects arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle. Count up to 10 objects in a scattered configuration.

This morning, we offered an activity that encouraged counting and one to one correspondence, though it was open ended.  A few friends began creating their own “board games” with the pieces.  We explored this further with some non-specific game mats we had in the classroom to see what the kids would do.  They created several unique games, like one that involved hopping from square to square and then adding the number of objects on the square a player landed on.  We believe kids will remember numbers and counted objects better when they are allowed to get creative with the learning materials, keeping things interesting for them!

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

PREK2:  During group we read the book “Ten Black Dots”.  After they story, we counted the dots next to our name.  If we wanted, we also added what we could make out of our dots.
