Ordinal numbers

In math we have been focusing on ordinal numbers.  The girls are getting comfortable recognizing and writing the ordinal numbers for 1-10.  

Here they are playing a game based on their place in line.

The girls lined up shapes and recorded the ordinal numbers of the shapes.

We also started our word study this week.  Every Monday the girls will get a new group of words focusing on a certain feature.  This week our feature was beginning consonants (b, r, s, m).  Each day the girls will be completing a different activity with their words:

Monday--introduction to the focused feature and cut and sort words
Tuesday--sort and draw 6 of their words
Wednesday--sort and read words to a friend
Thursday--sort and write words
Friday--sort and glue words

Our first official mystery reader arrived this afternoon.  The girls were so excited to see who gave the clue, "if I look out to my backyard, I can see where a princess lives."
