Math Everyday in Many Ways

Posted on November 23, 2014 by mscheung under Math

TKs use Math everyday. Through our Letter of the Week projects, TKs have multiple opportunities to count and work with numbers, patterns, and colors. At “Work Time” stations, the children are provided additional opportunities to practice what they’ve learned. Let us show you how.

How many seeds on a strawberry? Well, what begins with S?

We can make snakes with color patterns and count the squares.

Guess my pattern!

The children made Indian corn with various colors – brown, yellow, red, and yellow. They count by color and the total.

We can count and sort with buttons, beads, and little blocks.

At “Work Time”, a student chose to work with the connecting monkeys and started counting…

Listen to me count!

Letter of the Week – “S” and “T”

Posted on November 18, 2014 by mscheung under Letters of the Week

Each week we feature a letter of the alphabet. TK’s learn the letter sound along with a hand gesture or body movement. TK’s practice formation of the letter in various ways. Most importantly, TK’s have fun discovering each letter through art, music, stories, and more. Let’s show you how….

: S is for Sammy Spider

: S is for skeleton

: S is for Strawberry

: Playdough S

: T is for train and tracks

: T is for train tickets

: T is for turtle

: T is for tractor

: Playdough T

: T is for tree (Chicka Chicka Boom Boom style)…delicious!

: Turkey tots

: Spider Book

“I can count spiders.”
