Today in Kindergarten we talked about numbers.
Some of us made number monsters! We needed to have one of something on our monster, two of something different, three of something and four and five of something else! They were very creative! Other classes talked about how we see numbers everywhere and they began to talk about our big project. Here is some information for you in some cases before your child will even hear about it! Did you know that numbers are everywhere? We have been talking about where we find numbers in our world. The children have come up with some amazing answers. One student said that numbers are found on the back of cars. Upon further questioning, he even came up with the correct term...on license plates! Another student said that numbers are on the front of our houses. We have been so impressed with the deep thinking the children have done on this. We need your help though! Could you please look for places that we find numbers in our world. We want the children to THINK BIG on this...not just at home or at school, but where else do they find numbers? Please take a picutre of where you find numbers and send it to your child's teacher. The morning classes can start sending in pictures right away. The afternoon classes can start sending in pictures anytime after Tuesday. We are going to print them out and put up a display at school. Thanks for your help with this project!

In order to make their vision come true, they are looking for canned and boxed food donations. Specifically, they are looking for:
