What do educators use for a mathematics scope and sequence in Kindergarten? Have been exploring resources and curious what others have found successful or helpful.

Excellent printing/handwriting articles that point to the research of explicit teaching of letter formation!

@jennivanrees It truly is critical. It's always such a balance of when and how for handwriting for me. Sometimes development plays a role in K.

Great podcast! “Fluent writing of alphabetic letters in first grade predicts the quality of writing compositions in fourth grade” Wasn’t on writing specifically, but I really liked this quote and reminded me of the handwriting articles I recently shared. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/edv…

@avivaloca @MarshallJ2032 We have been on a big learning investigation about inclusion of visuals for phonological skills and phonemic awareness. Visual representation of language supports so many learners.

Had the greatest conversation with @MarshallJ2032 and Lina N. today about UFLI, CRRP, equity, & the use of visuals to support some learners. Such rich dialogue! ❤️ Grateful for mentorship and the opportunity to connect with other reading specialists.

@avivaloca I do believe our Acadience data has supported our instruction and understanding of students needs!

The best comment today from a Gr.2 teacher after we did some Acadience together: “I feel so much better. This is easier than I thought and I can plan based on this.” Yes!! ❤️❤️❤️ This is my daily joy!

@TracyPick @UFLiteracy Yes, I can see your point! This was only the second passage we tried, but we had to talk a lot about maps, and why people put a pin in, and describing the tin! Many Ss had not heard of that before.

I’ve loved using the @UFLiteracy program, and the resources that come with it. We’ve only done 9 lessons so far, but imagine how far Ss will go when the program is implemented starting in the fall! #fdk #ufli #sor #literacy

Math in #Kindergarten - we talked about how 1 and 2 is the same as 3 while building silly number block characters. We went on to see what new numbers we could make by adding 1 to different numbers. "___ and 1 more is ____" fun, short, intentional and playful! @howwrdsb

A shift in language from "I see, I think, I wonder" during PD today. I wonder how the responses might shift during the process @apples4theteach

Playing I Spy is a fun way to build vocabulary, use descriptive language and practice taking turns with peers. @LordStrath_LDSB

Last year these beautiful portraits were made by a kindergarten class taught by ⁦@TracyPick⁩ from Passionately Curious Educators. I am thinking of making bigger sets with more colours and materials. Comment if you are interested! #togetherinplay

Fellow SoR journeyers… Did something come home from school that doesn’t align to what you’ve been learning? I encourage a pause before posting it and shaming the teacher or school. #todaysreflections
