Addition Centers
Below are math addition centers. Our first is a review of counting numbers in and organized manner and writing the number of dots that appear on the domino.
In the next center, the children are introduced to Add A Frog. This is an addition review game. The children read the example on the card. For example 3+5 the children first place 3 frogs in the yellow-sectioned out boxes that number to ten. Then add 5 more in and figure out how many are now in all.
In the next center the children have addition cards with examples. If for example the card read 5+2, the children place 5 circle pieces by the 5 and 2 pieces near the 2, then sweep to place them in the total box and say 7.
For our last center we have introduced for now the children have two spinners. They spin one spinner and it lands on a number. Under the spinner is a leaf. The children place the number amount of ladybugs they landed on and put them on the leaf. They do the same for the second spinner and leaf. Then they count how many ladybugs they have all together.

Addition!
Kindergarten is learning how to add! We started our unit off with visuals and songs. For example Morah took two students and said one more came to play, how many are there now? We also used various items from our classroom to count and add.
After a while went by of working with visuals, Morah slowly introduced number's into the addition. Below the children took objects to count and figure out the example on the index cards.
Below the children are introduced to an addition game that we will use in the classroom for centers.

Kindergarten & First Celebrate Thanksgiving!
Kindergarten and First grade celebrated Thanksgiving together! Each classroom had two stations set up. The first grade classroom made feather hats and turkeys using the students hand. Morah Kathy helped the students write what they were thankful for on it. In the kindergarten classroom lead by Morah Dawn, there was a beading necklaces table and a create your own teepee table. The children took ice cream cones, icing, pretzels and sprinkles and created teepee's.
