We celebrated drop a rainbow day 2 days late. We used our math thinking to find out if we had 39 rocks, 13 students each could give out three. We wrote “love” on the back@of each one & passed them out to staff & teachers! #wordrocksproject @wordrocksproject #purposefulkindergartenmath #purposefulmathinkindergarten #droparainbowday #meaningfulkindergartenmath#teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bosp1OdnBYL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iwwupiqww22m

A day behind for drop a rainbow day... so we started to celebrate it today by painting rainbows on ricks. We’ll give them to teachers & staff tomorrow. We had to count them to make sure we have enough for@everyone. We made estimates & learned how to@use tallies to keep track of numbers. #purposefulmathinkindergarten #droparainbowday #meaningfulkindergartenmath#teachlikeyourhairsonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks https://www.instagram.com/p/BoiZ5_mnfj_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=153w98imn1db4

At a district literacy retreat yesterday, I learned students need choice in choosing books for their book bags. Each table had tubs filled with level A-D on their desks. They each chose 5 books to put in their bag, and then had their partner check their bag to make sure they had enough books. The students counted marvelously! #purposefulkindergartenmath #purposefulmathinkindergarten #teachlikeyourhairisonfire #teachlikeapirate #greatpublicschoolscalifornia #greatpublicschoolssandiego #greatpublicschools #iteachkindergarten #kindergartenteacher #sandiegoteachers #lovesdschools #sdcoe #sdusd #sandiegocoe #nea #cta #cityheights #centralelementaryrocks (at Central Elementary)
