More Than Circle Time: Kindergarten/First Grade (Advanced) - Math, Word Study, Social Skills!

We will enjoy a sing along circle time together! We will review today's date, and weather, practicing the life skill of weather appropriate attire. We will review the days of the week, months of the year, weather, seasons, and count the number of days in the month.  We will use base ten models to show the number of the day in the month.  Learners will interact constantly with me and one another, answering questions and singing along. We will review a letter and number of the week. We also talk about a shape and color each day. Students can share at the end of class (time permitting).
