Here are some fun Small Group activities that have been happening in both classrooms. The activities provide a lot of opportunities for vocabulary expansion as well as back and forth conversation. First up is Miss Julie's class.
From Miss Julie: This is a group that focuses on developing one-to-one correspondence. We started with pre-made dot cards and listened for observations from students such as counting, pointing and counting, noticing there are different numbers of dots on each card, etc. After our discussion we introduced noodles (or other small items) and asked the students how we can use them together. Some students covered the dots with all of the items, others covered dots with a single item, and others counted the dots and items. Students demonstrated various levels of skills counting with one-to-one correspondence. Blank cards and markers were given to students so they could make their own dot cards. Lastly, glue was introduced to allow students to add items to their own dot cards to take home.
Next up are some activities from Miss Jeana's class.
From Miss Jeana: This is working on measurement. We were making color recipes - using the three primary colors to create all different hues.
From Miss Jeana: Fill it up! Here we were used different sized cups to fill a larger bowl and talked about how many scoops it took to fill the bowl.
