Welcome

Welcome to the Pre-Kindergarten math planning blog.  Here we will take a close look at our student expectations and as a team we will share ideas & activities.    We will post ideas as we meet , but you could also post later if you found another strategy to be successful in your room, or if you found a web link to share. 

If you are brave enough to show off our Roadrunner talents, we would love to take pictures or videos of those successful activities and post them for our teammates to view.  It always helps to see it in action.
