Novel Engineering Snowy Day
I have been going to STEM training through my school district this year. I have tried to start incorporating what I am learning in the meetings into my kindergarten classroom. This post is one of three novel engineering experiences I have tried this year. I read the book The Snowy Day in January and asked them to come up with an idea of how to help Peter.

Math Strategies
I have been teaching my kinders math strategies and tools they can use to help them add and subtract. I explained how just like we have reading strategies to helper readers, math strategies can help mathematicians. I spend a week practicing using each strategy, make sure they know using tally marks only works well for addition problems. Then I like to mix up problems and have practice adding and subtracting at the same time. I made a song to help them remember the s… Leggi tutto
