Winter Counting
The rainy weather in Southern California has brought snow to our mountains, which means it's a bit colder than the Bunnies are used to. We're embracing the winter snap with some fun new stories and, of course, math practice.
We love Arctic animals, so we couldn't wait to read the book Sizing Up Winter by Lizann Flatt. Kindergartners love the opportunity to measure different animals. We made polar bears and penguins to test our non-standard measurements.
Over in the Arctic by Marianne Berkes was another big hit. Counting polar baby animals is always a big hit.
It wouldn't be winter without reading Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.
We wished that our snowballs were real, but we still had fun creating different number combinations.
We also went on a winter nature walk and counted birds, trees, sticks, and rocks. What would you count on a winter walk?
Remember that you are always math-mazing!
