Today, we continued to focus on foundational number sense and basic operations. This included counting to 100, skip counting, recognizing and writing numbers, comparing numbers, solving simple addition and subtraction problems within 10, and identifying basic geometric shapes. Alexandra worked on a cut-and-paste activity to identify different sized figures and was introduced to academic subject-specific vocabulary pertaining to shapes ((e.g., hexagon and octagon). As promised, I brought in additional connect-the-dot exercises and she completed three of them, receiving stickers for her finished work. The use of hands-on activities and manipulatives facilitated and helped foster development and refinement of recently acquired skills.
