Mrs. Willoughby's Kindergarten

Thursday, January 12th

1. Tell me about listening to our special guests today. How do they use math? (Adrienne Rank-Jewelry Artist, Katie Del Ponte-Sales, Curt DeHaan-IT/Network Engineer, Norm Loomer-Retired Math Professor)

Using our number racks during math today...

Have your child look at the following pictures (at the group of beads in the top left) and ask them the following questions...

*How many red?

*How many white?

*How many altogether?

(5 red, 1 white, 6 altogether)

(5 red, 3 white, 8 altogether)

(5 red, 5 white, 10 altogether)

Below is a table that lists all of our sight words for the Kindergarten year. The highlighted words have been introduced. Please try to review a few of the highlighted words each night. :)
