F***y’s mastering the math hop—one more, one less—using a number line to spot patterns and build number sense.
This hands-on routine helps kids connect counting to operations in a concrete, visual way.

💡Pro tip: Let kids “be the frog” and physically jump along a number line taped to the floor. Instant engagement.
Save this for your small group toolkit 🧰

Learning letter sounds isn’t just about hearing them — it’s about feeling them too! 🧠💬 When kids know what their mouth should look and feel like when saying a sound, it helps build stronger connections for reading and spelling.

In this small group, we’re using visuals to teach the /s/ sound — showing where the tongue goes, how the teeth line up, and what it should sound like. 🐍

📚 This kind of multisensory instruction is a game-changer for early readers!

F***y’s been working on her scissor grip and coordination with some snip-worthy art. Cutting isn’t just crafty—it’s crucial for handwriting, dexterity, and independence.
Pro tip: Keep cutting bins in centers all year long.
