Maps and Math Stations

This week in Social Studies we have been learning about location words. While participating in exciting games such as "Simon Says" and enjoying rousing stories such as "We Are Going on a Bear Hunt,"  we practiced acting out "on top of, " "in the middle," "above," "below," etc. Then, we created maps of our classroom and shared where things are located using these words. Finally, we added labels as a finishing touch, so that we could take our maps home and use these words to show our families where things are located in our classroom. Here are some pictures from our amazing map creations.

We also enjoyed participating in our math stations this week. We completed numbers puzzles, read number stories, used pattern blocks to create pictures, sorted dominoes by quantities, practiced counting quantities with game cards and clothespins, and built numbers using play dough. Finally, we began our math small group games with Miss Todd. Ask us about our "Cookies on a Plate" game. So much fun!
