Week‘s Highlights:
Literacy Topic – Finished Domain One
Next week we will be starting Domain two The Five Senses
Literacy skills – Continued listening for environmental sounds, body awareness, Prewriting skills. Finished Skills Unit One - Monday we will start Skills Unit Two
Math- Continued working with our math bins and introduced The Five-frame.
In this module, the students are introduced to the structure of five through the five‑frame. The five‑frame is an important mathematical tool that provides opportunities for combining quantities in the range of 1 to 5. Students are asked to recognize the number of dots and empty boxes shown on a five‑frame and produce finger patterns to represent quantities in the range of 1 to 5. Students are also introduced to the five‑frame on the student-work mats and asked to build quantities up to 5 with cubes. Through the repeated use of the five‑frame throughout the sessions, students will have opportunities to develop the critical skills of one-to-one correspondence, cardinality, and subitizing.
