It's no secret I love to teach kinders math. Maybe it's because I feel like I can actually see kids loving math or maybe it's because it's just so darn fun. I love providing activities that can appeal to all the different intelligences in my classroom. It's a challenge and, admittably, I am not always successful . . . but when I am, I know it my the smiles, enthusiasm and laughter that is deafening (remember I have 26 kinders--it can get loud) during stations.
