Calendar
At this time of year our math highlights the approaching 100th Day of School together!
There is daily practice at calendar (and math time) with counting.
Counting by ones: K Goal 100+
Counting on from any given number: K Goal to 100
Counting backwards: K Goal 15-0
Skip counting by 10s: K Goal to 100
Skip counting by 5s: K Goal to 50
When time allows check in with your child. If one of these skills is still tricky,
additional practice will often help to secure and build confidence with numbers.
They may benefit from seeing it written out.
