My Project

We have small group twice a day. We use this time to review skills and teach new skills. Open ended material are the best option for little learners. These materials will be used for math small groups.

Patterns, counting, sorting, graphing, and math games are some of the ways we will utilize these materials.

Getting these items directly into the child's hand will help concrete learning. The children love games with small manipulatives. The possibilities are endless. We will use some printable materials to supplement these items. For example the colored pom-poms are to accompany a ice cream scooping pattern activity. Making learning seem like play is the best wat to get our class immersed in an activity. Sorting and counting disguised as play will keep my busy bees at the center or small group longer.
