What do educators use for a mathematics scope and sequence in Kindergarten? Have been exploring resources and curious what others have found successful or helpful.

Excellent printing/handwriting articles that point to the research of explicit teaching of letter formation!

Math in #Kindergarten - we talked about how 1 and 2 is the same as 3 while building silly number block characters. We went on to see what new numbers we could make by adding 1 to different numbers. "___ and 1 more is ____" fun, short, intentional and playful! @howwrdsb

Playing I Spy is a fun way to build vocabulary, use descriptive language and practice taking turns with peers. @LordStrath_LDSB

Quite often, the greatest PD is the educator down the hall.

Fellow SoR journeyers… Did something come home from school that doesn’t align to what you’ve been learning? I encourage a pause before posting it and shaming the teacher or school. #todaysreflections
