"Sunday, Chicken; Monday, Peanut Butter; Tuesday, Snap Peas....."

At math during the first few weeks, we did a lot of exploration with different math manipulatives that will be used throughout the year.  We have now started using these manipulatives (unifix cubes, pattern blocks, dice, attribute tiles, dominoes, counters, money, math hands, etc) to count objects with one to one correspondence, sort materials into different sets, and create AB, ABA, ABBA, AABB patterns.  We have also been practicing reading and writing numerals through 10, making pictographs and answering questions about them, and learning the days and months of the year.  Ask your child to share one of our many days of the week songs.  (I'm gonna catch you, Today is Monday, or Days of the Week to the tune of adams family).
