Tobin SnapshotsCounting Collections has become one of the favorite math activities in Children's House 3. Counting Collections is an engaging math activity that helps the students to develop a number sense while counting collections of various objects. The goal of this activity is to count the objects to find out how many there are in their collection. The students learn how to understand mathematical concepts such as grouping, comparison, skip counting by 10s and place value.
Photos:
Maramawit and Samira have a lot of buttons to count.
Elin and Salma are grouping the objects by tens.

Check the Lost & Found
Help us reunite lost items with their owners. You can help by labeling all of your children’s items. This includes water bottles, sweatshirts, jackets, gloves, and anything that can be separated from your child. Please look at the pictures and list below – if you see any clothing items that look familiar, send the family liaison an email with your child’s name and a description of the item, and Zakkiyya will try to get the two back together again.
