Math:
-Worked on math facts 1-10-Wrote out number bonds from 0-10 (2 times)
-Counting to 100 by 1‘s, 2‘s and 10‘s. She can count by 1’s and 10’s by herself. Doing really well on 2’s!
-Working on counting backwards from 20.
- Emma asked me to tell her 2 numbers (for instance 4 and 7) and she would tell me the answer (forty-seven). Reversed it as well
-Strung popcorn (working on counting by 10’s) It amazes me how this helps cement everything! She tells me “I have 20 popcorn but I really have 22 because I have 20 popcorn and 2 cranberries.” Counted what she had strung (20) and what Daddy had strung (60) and she says “So we have 80 all together!”
