Math Centers

9/21/2016

 
We have finished learning how to write numbers 0-10.  We will continue to practice our number writing all year long!  It is very normal for five and six year olds to reverse numbers, or to struggle with the proper formations, so please do not worry if you observe your child doing this!  Today, we introduced math centers.  We will be focusing on counting accurately, identifying numbers and quantities, and recording our thinking and work.
