Sunny Thursday!

We had a wonderfully busy day!  We have been discussing reading; choosing books, rereading our favorites, and how important it is to read everyday.  We also are talking a lot about non-fiction reading and how reading can help us learn new things.  We started the beautifully illustrated book "What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?"  and we are reading another lovely non-fiction book "The Secret Life of Trees"  I want your children to be non-fiction readers!  

Through the various math tubs and games, and calendar activities we do each day we are learning about exploring the attributes of various shapes, naming shapes, sorting by different attributes, using positional language, using ordinal numbers, counting by 1's and 10's, comparing sizes, graphing and comparing quantities, learning to attend to print and pictures, rotating, creating and extending an ABAB pattern, matching shapes, making observations, counting and comparing quantities and exploring probability.  AND YOU THOUGHT WE WERE JUST PLAYING!!!!!
