Math

Throughout the month we will be reviewing and establishing how to incorporate math into the Daily Routine:

* Daily Schedule

* Calendar

* Job Chart

* Counting days of school to 100+

* Daily Attendance

* Record Daily Temperature

* Surveys

Below are everyday activites that we will be working on in class:

* Math Centers- reinforce different lessons that have been introduced and reviewed as a class. The children will be given opportunities through out the week to explore the centers hands-on.

* Weather- every day we go to 9news and get the high for the day and graph it with the class barometer. At the end of each month we go to Graph Club and graph the weather.
