We've started our new math unit~ Measuring and Comparing
with both standard (ruler) and
non-standard (cubes) tools.
The Kinders are LOVING IT!
Thus far, we've just measured our feet and some common items found inside the room, but I am amazed at how quickly they are picking up the concept.
Soon, you'll see a paper ruler come home and I'm sure your child will be measuring things around the house!
Encourage them to explore and discuss their findings.
Likewise, try to facilitate math vocabulary(more than, greater, less than, fewer, longer, taller, wider, inches, etc.).
Furthermore, the concept of telling time has been introduced to the hour, so this, too, can be used as a way we measure time. Can your child tell time to the hour? Quiz them.
Tell your KinderKids to, "Kiss their Brain!" Room 408 is, simply, amazing life-long learners!
