Lots to share from our first days back to school. Here are some highlights from preschool...
This activity from
Making Learning Fun was a complete hit with my preschooler! We began by reading
Brown Bear, Brown Bear. He then played a
"Roll and Color Dice Game." He rolled the dice, counted the dots, located the corresponding numbers on the animal, then colored it to match the animal in the book.
For a 1st day surprise, we did a little
M&M sorting and graphing. Each column corresponded with an animal color from
Brown Bear, Brown Bear. We counted and compared colors.
My older son, 8, also did it for fun; he did a lot more with numbers. (How many total candies? How many more orange than yellow? Etc.)
This "Clothespin Number Review" from
Confessions of a Homeschooler provided more practice with counting as GG matched number of dots with corresponding digits on clothespins. I printed the pdf on cardstock and covered it with contact paper so we could reuse it.

Visiting from "Math Monday" -- My son would love that Brown Bear dice/color game! Lots of great ideas here. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have also used Skittles for graphing. In fact, we have used lots of candies. Kids never tire of that game!
