Inside a kindergarten classroom with Augustana students
Each week I am impressed by the visible amount of growth in the students. This week Markaye and I continued to strengthen and assess number recognition with the majority of our students. We have chosen to implement the Randomize-er Game every time we work with the students so that we have a constant factor in [...]

We have begun pulling students aside to assess their success with the skill of balancing numbers on an iPad application and with a balancing scale that has a bucket on each side. Each student was able to [...]

This week, the students made substantial progress. All of the students I work with can count to 100 by tens! Many of them can count to 100 with limited assistance, if any. It’s amazing to see the growth in such a short time period. This week, we worked on similiar skills seen in the sessions [...]

Because of the success we had with the Randomize-er game last week with one of our students, Markaye and I decided that we would use this method to assess all of our students on their number recognition. Working with each child on a one-to-one basis, we had the children counting orally as high as they [...]

I have been working on rote counting and counting by tens every week, so it is exciting to see some students [...]

I apologize for my entry from last week. I thought my entry submitted, but I see it has not! I will complete two separate entries tonight. Last week, I worked with the students on the concept of “one more than” and “one less than”. I discovered that many of the students I was working with [...]

This week we focused on number recognition with our students. We knew that four of our students had no problems recognizing the numbers 1-10, and were successful at much larger numbers as well. We also knew that these students were capable of writing the numbers 0-10 on their own with very little difficulty, and could [...]

After two weeks of research, Courtney and I have continued to stick with our question about students’ knowledge about “more, less, and the same.” I continued with the activity I did before where I had the flash card sets for the students to make pairs of the number symbol and the equivalent amount of dots. [...]

Tuesday during number sense Morgan and I worked one on one with students improving their skills in number sense. We wanted the students to improve on number recognition and putting numbers in order without having to count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… every time to find what the next is in the sequence. I used [...]
