A6: Manipulatives are vital in helping my kinders understand the difference between addition and subtraction. They are physically able to move the pieces to show their thinking and understanding. #SPSMathChat
A5: I gotta be honest....at the kindergarten level we use lots of manipulatives to share our thinking. Technology isn't a big part of math for us. #SPSMathChat
A4: Time with experienced teachers. Anytime I can bounce ideas with someone else who is "in the trenches with me" I feel like I gain so many ideas! I love to talk to colleagues. #SPSMathChat
A3: I think @IllustrateMath is helpful with this! Today in class we solved two problems...but the discussion and thinking was so much more! I agree getting all the standards in can feel overwhelming, but we should focus on quality over quantity. #SPSMathChat
A2: I think I would remind them that baby steps are okay. It takes time (and a classroom family) to build a community where kids can participate in discourse, take risks and make mistakes. #SPSMathChat
A rainy day doesn't stop their play! π§ @Sequiota kindergartners are learning with oral language play centers during indoor recess. This racing mat was provided by a @Foundation4SPS grant. #everylearnereveryday
Happy Friday! This morning we visited @Sequiota to see some of the amazing projects they were able to do thanks to #BacktoSchoolGrants. These projects and smiling faces would not be possible without our amazing donors!! #supportsps
I love teaching with these two ladies who share my philosophy of βdoing whatβs best for kidsβ. A huge thank you to the @Foundation4SPS for believing in our vision! #lovemytribe@Sequiota@officialSPS
Today our kindergarten team (students included) joyously accepted a grant check from @Foundation4SPS to use towards their oral language/play centers to build Ss problem solving and social skills. #supportsps@officialSPS
