============================================================
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Elevating Early Childhood!
Before we start, let me ask you a quick question: Do your preschool or pre-k students need help learning how to count and develop number sense?
If your answer is "YES!" then you've come to the right place, because that's exactly what I'm discussing today.
As you know, math doesn't come easily to everyone. Some children have real difficulties with it, while others find it super fun and easy, almost like solving a puzzle game.
However, the math activities I'm sharing with you today are an exception, because all your preschool students will love them. They're fun and engaging, and they make math as simple as it can be!
So, are you ready?
Let's dive in!
Key Takeaways:

Yay! I'm so glad you're here!
Oh! This is fun but there are so many more ways to keep them engaged. Count together as you take them out. Talk about how many are in the bowl (cardinality). Tell them how many to put in the "pond". Mary, put two ducks in the pond...etc. Also, if the water is an issue make a fun pretend pond! Love the idea. :)
Put a dot of hot glue on the drain hole of the ducks to keep water out of them (mold prevention and less dripping).

Great tip!
I love the small group activities and will surely add them into my small group time that you so much, l do love and appreciate it. Thanks again.❤❤❤
So many fun ideas here, also there are ways to age up or down these slightly. One age up idea is to have 1 kid roll and do one to one on the soup and another then show a graph of each color and or even higher level show the percentage of each color. I homeschool multiple ages so I might try this.
MRS LEVIN , YOU'RE AWESOME .....These activities for counting ,i find to be very fun and interactive....this i believe will develop their attention span as well as their level of concentration.....i certainly ENJOYED the videos
I am such a visual learner and love watching these episodes on you tube, however the background noise when words flash on the screen is super distracting. I can use these ideas with my grandson. Thanks for sharing!
Interesting ideas, thank you! 😊👍
This activity about teaching the little kids counting but what you would do when the kid has attention deficiency and constantly drop the ducks, bowl( self-regulation, got it!).
Love this! Thank you Vanessa
Some great ideas here
Is the trailblazer program yours?

Hi I hope you see this and can answer - where do you get your mini erasers? I can't find any that are bulk packages of one type.

I got most of them from the Target Bullseye Playground. You can also find some at Party City, and sometimes Michaels. Online, they can be found at Oriental Trading and Amazon.
Too many pop noises! Don't need. I love your videos.

You may prefer the audio only version of the podcast which doesn't include any of the youtube sound effects. You can download Elevating Early Childhood on your favorite podcast app.
The popping sound and words popping at me is making this very hard to watch.

This video is from last season, we have toned down the popping noises this season. You can also listen to the podcast on your favorite podcast app without any special effects if you prefer.
The popping noises are very distracting to your video.
