C in action

Scarlett working on her ice cube counting.

 


Scarlett loves to CUT and make all sorts of different artwork pieces.
 


Scarlett called Nana and pappaw one day and asked them what kind of pizza they wanted. After they ordered, she told them it would be 18. So they sent her 18 pennies, she LOVED counting them. We were counting ALL week.

 


This station looks messy BUT it was after many children explored at this station.

Ice Cream Cone Math:

Children had to count out cotton balls that matched the number that was on the outside of the cone.

C Stations

We discussed Castles start with the Letter C. We also read the book Courdrey and the kids love to see the little stuffed animal and check on his "button."

 


At the math station, the children explored with the calculator and the clock.

 


Another math activity was cups and pennies. Children had to count the right amount of pennies that should go in each cup.

 


Ice Cube Tray Counting:

Children had to count the right amount of buttons to match it to the number in the tray.

Books

For the Letter A this week, we talked about Animals.

One book that we checked out at the library was "At the Zoo" by EriC Carle
Sugar loved this book.

 


At the bottom of each page it reviewed all the animals on the animal train and she loved to say exactly how many and which animals were on the train. At the end of the book, they all get off and go to the zoo... too cute!
 


This book is an Usborne book that I actually used a few months ago with Sugar and she seemed to remember. She wanted ALL the pieces out on the floor. We lined up the animals and sand a little jingle with the numbers and animals.

Cones, Counting and Coins

During the week of C:

We COUNTED COINS and put them into ice CREAM CONES

 


We painted with the foam letters of C and N.
 


We sorted words that started with a C and put them on the letter c.
We checked the rest of the words to see if they started with a N and put them on the letter N.
 


Giving little sugar two different sizes of CUPS, she painted a picture with it.
