A week on Counting

This past week was spent on counting. Ashley had learned to count awhile ago (up to fourteen) but didn't connect it with anything, so I wanted to work on it this week. She did a great job and can now easily count/match items up to five, and is doing pretty well with 6-10. Here are some of the books we used this week.

When we read books, we used puff balls to count along with the book. Here is a page from "Five Little Ducks."

We got the next sheet pictured from confessions of a homeschooler. She has lots of free printables. I printed multiple sets. One I printed on cardstock, and laminated whole (in sheet protectors taped closed) for Ashley to use her bugs (from discovery toys) to count.

The next one I printed out the first page (1-5) cut out each one, and laminated with packing tape. We added puffy ladybug stickers to each one, and spent a lot of time putting them in order from 1 to 5.

The third set I printed on regular paper and we used stickers to put in each square and counted them.

This sheet came from 1+1+1=1. We printed two copies, one to put stickers on and one to cut into cards and use with little gems (under supervision of course)

Some other things we did this week: Number Tracing. I think this was a 1+1+1=1 page also.

Counting puff balls next to little foam numbers.

Using our "Melissa and Doug" Number mat, counting one side, and coloring and counting the other side.

A few more things that I don't have pictures of... We have a sesame street video called "the number game" which we watched several times. Also, we counted EVERYTHING. food, trees, cars, whatever. Ashley learned so much this week and we had a great time! See you next week. This post is linked up to Totschool!
