Thinking Skills

Playing with Block Buddies

Super Why Puzzle

Math

I gave him ten pattern block triangles and asked him to see if he could make one big triangle with them.  It was harder for him than I expected, but he got it.

Making rows of ten to count some blocks

Playing POP for addition!  I took out all the subtraction and let him use his abacus when he gets stuck.  I really haven't taught him any addition, but he does pretty well.  More importantly, he really likes playing, so I'm happy to oblige!

Science

We're still doing our Alphabet in Simple Science, and this week was Y for Year.  I'll post all of our science activities later this week!

Art

Using a makeup sponge to paint.

Fun and Games

I finally won a game of mancala against him!
