 KinderMath: Comparing Collections
We begin a new unit today and for these beginning lessons, the kids will be working on comparing sets up to 20. We will take time to review our work with numbers to 100 through a comparison of counted collections.  
Phy Ed 

In this unit, students use observations to understand the basic needs of animals. Students explore how animals need things to eat and a safe place to live, and also how animals can change their environments to meet those needs.

Today's Lesson: Animal Secrets
In this lesson, students observe animal behaviors and work to discover a pattern: all animals seek food in order to survive. The activity, Eat Like an Animal, includes physical movement in which students act out animal behaviors, pretending to be quail scratching in the dirt, raccoons wading in the water, and woodpeckers pecking a log.
