Counting and Cardinality in Kindergarten

Primary students learn when best using all their senses.  I always like to provide a hook for each math lesson.  The hook can be a simple two minute video, a short puppet show, a physical object that connects the learner to the lesson and much more.  Then, I like to get them moving before they have to sit and do an activity.  Counting jumping jacks or hops supports the skill of counting while getting their blood pumping.  In kindergarten, it is so important for students to have a strong foundation of numbers in order to prepare them for many life skills and their school future.  Here are some fun and cute printables to help guide your students to understanding counting and cardinality.numbers-1-10-chicken-egg-square

Before and After Classroom Pictures and a LABOR DAY SALE for Hard Work

Teachers are gearing up for a great school year!  I moved from first grade to kindergarten this year and had to move rooms.  Well, after teaching for almost 20 years, let’s just say I had a lot of stuff.  I threw out a lot and gave good stuff away to the new teachers.  When I arrived to set up my new class, all Labor Day Sale logomy items were piled high in the center of the room.  I had NO CLUE where to start and just stared at the pile for about 10 minutes.  Then, I did a Facebook Live video and got lots of sympathy, which motivated me to make my room into a “Learning Oasis.” I don’t even know why those words came out of my mouth on the video, but they did fly out like a bee attracted to Grandma’s perfume! So, I’m going to show you my before and after photos AND offer you 20% ALL DAY at my Teachers Pay Teachers store on Labor Day, so you can start your school year off right!  Thank you for teaching students (even the difficult ones.)  You all inspire me to keep making new products.  It’s because of all the dedicated teachers out there working hard that our society will expand into a caring community of self-motivated learners.  Have a great year!
