Hooray for Math Centres!

We started our math centres today.  They will get changed every two weeks after the kids have had two chances to do them.  They will also be tiered to match the skills that each child is working on so that they will never be too easy or hard. These centres are so much fun and offer tons of hands-on learning.

Ordering numbers and linking them

Sensory bin: Sorting colours

Playdough Mats

 

Counting and Colouring

Number Identification: Où est mon goûter?

Technology: Unreliable ... but always fun!

We got the interactive whiteboard (the SmartBoard) up and running after some technical difficulties yesterday. The kids loved playing with our 'giant computer'.  We popped bubbles to help us get to know our new friends' names and the kids also got to write on it during free play. 

Second Day Pics

Well, we've survived another day in kindergarten!  It was another fun-filled afternoon.  We went out for our first 'recess' and the kids did such an amazing job following the rules that I am predicting that we will be going out with the big kids sooner than I had planned.  My little afternoon group is picking up the kindergarten routines and rules quickly, and I am so proud of them.  Enjoy a few more pictures of the kids playing with their new kindergarten friends.

Our First Day of Kindergarten

Wow, what a day!  It went by so quickly.  We had so much fun and got to know our new friends. This class is an amazing group of kids.  I am so happy that I get to be their teacher!  Here are some pictures from the 'free play' part of our afternoon.
