Counting Down! Happy Birthday Little Ones!

Help me give my students a pretend birthday party where they will practice math skills such as counting, as they count the candles on the cake, slices on the pizza, and ice cream scoops on the cone.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McHan's classroom raised $265

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My little ones love center time! It is their favorite part of our school day. Learning math skills through play is an integral part of the early childhood classroom.

The birthday party will give our little ones something to celebrate all while learning counting skills.

Children consider birthdays very important, very exciting, and very fun. It is hard to wait a whole year – so getting to pretend to have birthdays over and over again is a guaranteed win. This center offers opportunities for children to interact, talk, problem solve, read, write and practice early math skills as they bake the birthday cake, write the invitations, and celebrate with their friends.
