Incorporating Math during Outdoor Play

During outdoor play the students of Room 108 used leaves to create big and small piles. We explored using the math words “more” and “less” while understanding that the more leaves we collected the bigger the pile would be. When the wind came, the students would protect the pile so that it would not get smaller. They enjoyed watching the pile get bigger and collecting the leaves.

Literacy Centres:

Our letter of the week is P, and this week the students will begin working/learning and discussing shapes. The following activity incorporates both literacy and math.

Reading/Writing Centres:

The SK’s have begun Reading/Writing Groups, every week the students will group and read a story together. They will have an appropriate response to the story that will assist them in both printing, reading and phonemic awareness.
