Math Songs

We are enjoying all of our new Kindergarten friends so much.  We've been practicing all kinds of skills during our lessons.  One big skill is counting to 100.  During the first quarter, Kindergarteners should be able to count to 50, but by December, counting to 100 is the goal.

Here are some fun song videos that we're using in the classroom to help.

Opinions

Opinions...Kindergarteners have A LOT of them!  We have started opinion writing.  The kids will be writing their opinions about so many things.  We started with two books:  Duck...Rabbit and Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.  You can watch short videos of both books below.  One big word we're using is BECAUSE.  The kids have no trouble telling their opinions...but we want to know WHY they think that way.  

In Duck...Rabbit, the kids had to tell if they thought the shape was a duck or rabbit and their reason.

In Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, the Pigeon gave lots of reasons why he should drive the bus.  The kids had to decide if he SHOULD drive the bus and why.

Ask your child his/her opinion about the books!
