November Calendar Pattern

With November comes flying butterfly calendar markers in the kindergarten! This set of calendar markers depicts butterflies in different positions thereby providing us with opportunities to use and  model words that indicate direction: up, down, to the right, and to the left. Throughout the month we will use the butterflies to mark each day  in November. Activities in our November number corner will allow us to practice the following skills & concepts;

• model and use words indicating relative position, direction, and distance
• use the directional words left and right to describe movement
• identify, describe, and extend simple patterns.

Other components of November Number Corner include recording how may days of school in November with weather cards, recording each day on a ten frame as well as a weather graph, and adding a link to our "links in school" and rainbow number line. We discovered today that we have been in kindergarten for 45 days already!!!!
