If possible, I would like to see my whole school switching how we teach preschool reading and math classes so that they are more relaxed and interesting. For now, some of our reading materials are not suitable for the age levels we teach as an immersion ESL school.
We didn't have Cuisenaire rods , but we were able to discuss numbers and colors with these dominoes sets.
Students don't cry one time as they do their best to get through game play and make their own creations.
We finally got the rods and they were a hit. We discuss number combinations, colors, constructions and more!
