Math you can eat!

Last night was Kendyl's Dad's night at preschool. The teachers pulled together a great educational evening with the theme of 'Math You Can Eat."

The invitation sent home instructed each daddy/child team to wear their favorite's team's colors. Kendyl, of course, decided that they should wear 'Go Buckeyes' colors and decked she and Rob out in scarlet and gray.

The teams arrived and constructed their own 'Math You Can Eat' kits. The kids each received cheese balls, a bag of M&Ms, and a baggie of cheerios. They then made flashcards with plus/minus/equal signs and labelled a plastic gladware case with the word MATH. Then they played around with arranging different math problems and were allowed to eat the snacks after calculating the correct answers. Anyways, super cute night with a fun educational game to bring home and continue working on number recognition and basic math.

Additionally, the teacher gave the dads a lesson on how to correctly read to their kids to help them start to grasp the concepts required to read (the moms already got this lesson as well anyone else that has come to help with a field trip or activity day!). She also stressed the importance of daily reading and how crucial it is that we try to do at LEAST 30 minutes.

Kendyl had a fun time, she always enjoys alone time with daddy. I like that the preschool goes out of their way to do special days with both mommy and daddy:-)
