One classroom routine that is now well established is math, which follows morning meeting each day. Children work in small groups and move through a variety of stations.  The groupings change regularly, providing students an opportunity to work with different peers.  The stations tend to be hands on and almost always include manipulatives for children to use.  We have spent our time in the first two weeks exploring materials, recognizing numerals, and counting sets up to 6.  Soon we will expand to numbers up to 10 and begin playing some fun partner games.  Ask your child about a favorite station so far.
