Calendar is a fun part of our day!
I use the fair can to mix up the jobs each student has everyday. We talk about the name of the month, number word after, reading "The year is 2016", what day today is, yesterday was, tomorrow is, how many days we have been in school, weather, season, forward counting, backward counting and any important events that are taking place that month.
It is a fun time to catch our breath and go through a routine that has been established since our first day together!
Calendar is a great time for us to also work on our counting strategies. Establishing, maintaining and perfecting one to one correspondence is important in kindergarten. That is why we talk about and name different strategies that help us count! We will continue to add to our counting strategies chart throughout the year!
We are quickly learning to own our mathematicians caps and it is so fun to see!
Love,
Miss Brehm
