Olive Octopus? It's the letter o!

Take a look at the octopus video we watched because Olive Octopus is our Zoophonics O animal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH0JNSIrBA4(link is external) Here is the Story Bots Letter O link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0LOjbDKvq4(link is external) And Sesame Street's "Would you like to buy an O?" that reminded us about the two sounds for O: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml6Yqu-spnM(link is external) The children are hearing letters in more places than just the start of words too. That Olive Octopus was in the middle of words like Mom and dog. They are starting to blend sounds to make words both orally and by making the sounds of the letters they see. So smart!

Five Frame Fun For Kindergarten!

We are getting really good at counting and writing our numerals to 5! We can now use "Five Frames" to help us count carefully and visualize numbers to 5.

Kindergarten Counting Fun!

http://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/gingerbread-man-game(link is external)

This is another great webpage for having fun with numbers! There are different difficulty levels as well as different games (counting, matching and ordering). Spending a few minutes each day playing games will help strengthen your child's number concepts. Computer games are a great way to learn while having fun! This game is also tablet friendly.

Equal Means the Same! Balancing Fun!

Grade 1 is learning about creating equal and unequal sets. When Mrs. Buggie, the math mentor, heard about this she was excited to share these great links to have fun with the concept. Of course kindergarten wanted to try too!

This link is for the interactive see saw with farm animals: http://pbskids.org/sprout_games/jakers/seesaw/

This link has a virtual pan balance; just drop down the grade level and then the "manipulatives" and pick bucket balance: http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/mathematics/ebook_assets/vmf/VMF-Interface.html

This is a Sesame Street video with Cookie Monster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFrwrh1gEfk

This video "Equal Means The Same" has good pictures to stop and look at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKrL4K4GGMM
