Mrs. Cheers' Kindergarten class is learning important math skills through fun, hands-on activities. In this recent lesson, students used geo boards and tally sticks.

Geo boards help elementary students learn mathematics and geometry, including creating shapes, patterns, and lines. While, tally sticks help students visualize numbers and learn skills like counting and grouping numbers.

These little mathematicians are learning and growing every day!

Mrs. Cheers’ kindergarten class had a great time sounding out letters to practice their Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) words.

Students each held up large letter signs and worked together to form three-letter words. This is a fun and interactive way to build early reading skills!
