For the little people known as kindergarteners...

Today I will begin blogging about my adventures, learnings, and thoughts towards teaching. My experiences in education are not as vast as some others, but I believe they are valuable. I believe in our children, even those who are often seen as unlikely to succeed. I thrive when I see young people growing and learning in unique and exciting ways. My hope for all of my students is that they learn at least one thing while they are in my classroom...I want them to know that, "They are special, and they CAN learn". So many students that I meet day to day have been told that they can't, I want to share with my students that they CAN and they WILL. There is a moment, when you have been working with a child for a while, when all of a sudden you see the glimmer in the child's eye...the moment when the child realizes that they have had success. It is these moments that drive me to continue my learning as an educator...it is these moments that get me through all of the challenges I face each day in the classroom.

Numbers...what do they mean??

Hey all!

I am still working on those basic beginning of the school year skills. One of the skills that we work on all year is counting. I created the following activity to help students see that numbers can be represented in different ways, but that they are still the same number. The first two pages are number cards. Each number will be represented four times. Cut the cards on pages 3 and 4 apart. Students then sort them based on how many items are on the card. (ex. 3 hearts goes on the 3 card, 10 hearts on the 10 card, etc.) Feel free to print and use in your classroom. If you repost this link, please do so in a way that sends people to my blog as this is my original work. Hope you are all enjoying the last few weeks of summer!
