Rocco has been working on numbers at Jill's. These aren't just numbers, they are sorting, matching, order, and pattern in all different forms and I love it!! I am learning new ways myself to making learning fun and to learn about numbers in many different ways.
Most days Rocco does a great job but some days he likes to be a little stinker. So when he doesn't finish his numbers or letters at Jill's, Rocco has home work. We don't get to ride our bike or go to the library, we have to go home and do home work. I think we have had homework three times now. Not bad Rocco, but lets not make it a habit.
With the dice, he has to put all the same numbers in a row.
With the number tiles, he has to put 1-9 in order for each set.
Right now he is working all the way up to 40 with numbers that are on milk caps. He has to put 1-10 in a row and then 11-20, 21-30 and so on. With this format he also gets to see the pattern that under 13 will be 23, 33. Or sometimes he starts with putting all the single numbers together, the teens together, twenties and so on together.
A big THANKS to Jill for all your wonderful techniques and efforts. The type of daycare you provide and the teachings you provide to Rocco and us are setting standards and goals far beyond where we all would be at. Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher and a great educator to us.
