Skittles Math

The boys and girls had such a good time during Skittles Math today. We have been working hard learning color words, the letter Ss and counting this week. Well, we decided to roll all of those skills into one sssuper activity.

Students were given bags of Skittles. They had to sort them into circles based on their color. They counted how many of each color they had in their bag. This was a fun way to practice our AWESOME counting strategies. Let's not forget how delicious the Skittles tasted at the end!

We See Numbers Everywhere!

The boys and girls in Cottage 2 are becoming expert counters! The are learning strategies that help them keep track of what they are counting. We learned how important it is to touch each object that is being counted. These little ones also know the importance of recounting to self-check.

The students are making great progress recognizing, writing and counting numbers 0-10. They are also learning the number words that match. These number words are Kindergarten High Frequency words that the students will "know by heart".

Mad Scientist McKay

Cottage 2 was very excited to have our first visit from Mad Scientist McKay. The wonderful scientist set up a Five Senses learning lab. The studets were able to explore different centers and learn more about our sense of smell, taste, sight, hearing and touch. Take a look at the friends having fun in our learning lab!
