Extra independent practice with math concepts (counting, numerals, patterns, shapes, sorting, etc)
Squeeze in fine motor development opportunities
Small group math instruction
Individualized math re-teaching
Differentiated for the students
4 Math Tubs – 1 tub for each table group
Rotated 1 per day Tuesday-Friday
2-3 games in each Math Tub
10 minutes per day
Each game is put in a gallon Ziploc bag
A picture of the game completed is taped on the outside of the bag for reference.
Each month I change out the math tubs with current themes or holidays. Also the concepts get more difficult throughout the year.

You may download the free app to your iPad from the App Store and also get access from your computer at www.evernote.com
It is very easy to make notebooks for each of your students from the homepage. Since I have 2 classrooms I label my folders by AM or PM and their name. Ex: AM Lacy or PM Joe
Once you have a notebook for each child it is very easy to add notes for each child and tag their pictures for easy retrieval. Some note topics I make are writing, patterns, sorting, 1:1 counting, retelling, shapes, construction, letters, social emotional.

Click here to add more notes inside each student's notebook.
Notes are organized by month created or updated. This makes it easy when seeing if you have recent documentation on a student.
Insert new photos using the camera on the iPad
Share a child's note though email. You can also print if you have your iPad set up to a printer
Add tags to your notes for easy sorting and retrieval when looking at the entire class.
Type text here. I like to include the date of the documentation and dictation of the student or observations of what they were doing.
Add recording to your notes, does not work well in a typical Pre-K classroom (too loud)
