Hello, Bon Jour, Buenos Dias,
G’day, Guten tag, Konichiwa,
Ciao, Shalom, Dobrey Dyen
Hello to all the children of the world!
We live in different places,
From all around the world,
We speak in many different ways -
Though some things might be different,
we’re children just the same,
And we all like to sing and play.

Math & Measuring
Building number sense
Number sense is the ability to interact with numbers flexibly. Children with strong number sense tend to be more successful because they understand how to use math concepts. Children need lots of hands-on activities as they recognize all of the different ways that numbers can be represented whether it be as symbols, quantity or word. For example: 2, ** or two.

Social Emotional
Healthy social and emotional development benefits from consistent, positive interactions with educators, parents/primary caregivers, and other familiar adults who appreciate each child’s individual temperament. This appreciation is key to promoting positive self-esteem, confidence, and trust in relationships. The components within this domain address children’s relationships with others, their personal identity and self-confidence, and their ability to regulate their emotions and behavior.
