Early Math Learning Group
2020-01-24 09:30 - 11:00 | Grand Cafeteria, 21 N Grand St, Eugene, Oregon, United States
The next meeting of the Early Math Learning Group will be on January 24th from 9:30-11:00 in the Whiteaker Cafeteria. If you are interested, please contact facilitator Kerry Holmes.
At our 12/20/19 meeting we reviewed the math concepts of Numbers and Operations. Teachers shared some things that they had tried in their classrooms and we looked at a video clip of two classrooms who used the book “Mouse Count” by Ellen Stoll Walsh to practice numbers and operations skills along with story re-telling. To watch the video, here is the link: https://earlymath.erikson.edu/mouse-collections-preschool-storytime-game/

Some folks were interested in the Dot Card Transition Activity from the October teacher meeting and the link to that article and video is here: https://earlymath.erikson.edu/preschool-number-sense-routine-perfect-for-transitions/

We also explored the important concept of “sets”. If you missed the meeting and are interested in learning more, there is a free professional learning module on Sets in the Erikson Institute’s Early Math Collaborative website: https://earlymath.erikson.edu/modules/sets/?fwp_formats=video&fwp_found=sets

As a group we looked at different activities for exploring sets and the developmental progression of skills in young children (see attached handout)

Our next meeting is January 24th from 9:30-11:00 in the Whiteaker Cafeteria. Please try out a matching or sorting activity with your classroom before the meeting so you can share out how it went. Our next topic will be Geometry and Spatial Sense. Please review pages 12-20 (or 748-756 of 5th ed) of the Creative Curriculum vol 4 Mathematics.

At the teacher meeting we mentioned that we are starting a monthly professional learning group about Early Math.
If you are interested in joining, our first meeting will take place at the Whiteaker site Friday, November 22 from 12:30-2:00. This group will meet once a month to learn about math concepts and ideas children are developing in early childhood. The group will talk about how to implement those ideas in their classrooms or on home visits and will try out math activities in between monthly meetings.
At this first meeting we will talk about the structure of the learning group and together we will decide the day and time for future meetings. Interested in joining but cannot attend this Friday? Send me an email to let me know you’re interested and list times of day & days of the week that work best for you. We’ll use your information when we are deciding our future meeting schedule.
I look forward to seeing (or hearing) from you!

October Teacher Training, PM Session
2019-10-18 12:30 - 15:30 | Grand Gym, 21 N Grand St, Eugene, OR, United States
October 18th is our Teacher Meeting day in the Whiteaker gym. The AM session is from 8:30-11:30 for Regions 3, 4, 6, 8, & 9. The PM session is from 12:30-3:30 for Regions 1, 2, 5, & 7. We are covering several topics this month including maternal depression, support for immigrant families, new policies and program goals, and early childhood math skills.

The Wellness Team meets between the AM and PM sessions in Whiteaker room 7 and all staff are welcome. The Wellness team meetings are brown bag since they fall over the lunch break. Meetings can include a wellness activity, information sharing, and/or wellness planning for the year. Please contact Jean Sperry if you have questions.

During the teacher meeting staff consultation is also available for caseload debriefing with Sacia Stiles de Andrade from Options Counseling in room 4A. Not sure what you might use staff consultation for? Here are some examples:
Talking with a counselor about how to self-regulate during challenging situations with children and families,
debriefing challenges of working with children or families who have complex needs,
or perhaps you’re simply feeling overwhelmed or anxious about work and you want to talk about how to manage those feelings so you can be your best self for the children and families you work with.

There are several 30 min. time slots available for the October meeting. If you would like to sign up for a time slot for yourself or for you and your teaching partner together, please email me those requests separately.
