1st, 2nd, 3rd

This week we are beginning to learn about ordinal numbers which simply is places such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. An easy way to practice this skill around Christmas is to line up presents and ask your child which order they are in. For example, which present is 2nd in line? This is a fun way to practice this skill. We are spotlighting the letter Bb this week.

Shapes All Around Us!

We are studying figures in math such as cone, cube, sphere, and cylinder. These are hard words for children to say so when you see objects shaped as these, ask your child what they are. You can use many common items such as ice cream cones (cone), boxes (cube), balls (sphere), and canned goods (cylinder). We are spotlighting the letter Kk this week, too.
