Math Centers

 During our first week in kindergarten, we're doing lots of different math activities to get us thinking about kindergarten math concepts.  Here are some pictures of what we're doing...

Welcome to Kindergarten!

Welcome to Mrs. Jones's Kindergarten class!  We had such a great first day together!

We learned a lot about our school and where things are located.  We talked about rules and routines in our classroom.  We played in fun centers, did some neat cowboy-themed activities, and got to know each other!  All the students made new friends, and I think Ms. Gina and I remembered every one of the kids' names - Hooray!

Here are some pictures of the first day fun!  These pictures are some that I took at lunch today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, we spent some time getting to know each other and playing in Fun Centers!  Here are some pictures of the kids exploring some of the new toys and learning materials in the classroom and getting to know their new classmates.
