This week we have been working hard in math learning about 10 frames and in recognizing numbers as patterns. When I drew a pattern of five dots, one student was excited to share that he recognized that pattern as the number five on a dice. Playing board games with your child can be such a powerful learning experience because they learn how to count quickly, what a double looks like (Monopoly, anyone?) and that numbers can form patterns.
"Mrs. Harte, take our picture!" is something I hear quite frequently at the end of choice time. The students are quite proud of their creations and worked hard to play together, to share, to compromise, and to try something new. As adults, I think we could use a little more learning through play! Have a great weekend!
