Numbers

We are focusing on numbers and math as our theme for May and June. This month, along with our regular preschool routine, we have had a lot of fun with numbers! 

We paint numbers, sculpt them with play dough, and practice writing them on our white boards. 

Students use their white boards during each lesson to write down answers or practice things we are learning. After the lesson we go practice writing either letters (captial and lower case) or numbers. We switch off. The white board markers are a little easier to write with then pencils and the kids do great! 

This is our whiteboard after our "adding 3" lesson. Each student got to pick a number to add to 3 and an adding method. In preschool we learn 3 adding methods: 1. adding using our fingers, 2. adding using the number line, and 3. adding using pictures. They all like the picture method best! Here we drew pictures of sticks and cookies on the first 2 problems.

We work on lots of great math worksheets! 

A few other fun things we've done lately are:

 Work on puzzles! This one is Sam's favorite. 


We made tulips for Mother's Day.


We earned another preschool party by filling up our jar with pom poms. This is Sam during the treasure hunt finding a clue. 


Preschool party cupcakes! 


Practicing our letters, here is Hh! 


Snack time! Toast and milk!
