Math concepts

Hi there,
hard to believe we're on our first vacation. I just wanted to let you know the Math concepts we've gone over in class so far so that you can follow up on them at home.

MOST...which group has the most, biggest, greatest number of objects.

FEWEST...which group has the fewest, smallest amount of objects.

It seems like they grasped most much easier than fewest. If you could work with the kids at home on this that would be great. Take out some spoons and put them into groups and ask them to tell you which has the most or fewest. Great way to keep them occupied while they're in the kitchen.

TIME to the hour...we've also been discussing one hour later and one hour earlier, how many minutes are in an hour and how many seconds are in a minute. One hour later and earlier is a concept they will need to know by the end of the first trimester, which is why I'm inntroducing it already.

I hope you've had a chance to look at the book order...there are some for as little as $1. I have a feeling this is a group that's going to be ordering books...I'm really excited about our class this year. Also I've got some reading supplemental books ready for volunteers (please) to fold. I've had great help so far and I truly appreciate that!
