Today I introduced coin identification, value and basic coin counting. Patrick immediately identified the penny and knew its value. He has not yet mastered the other coins, but I am sure he will by the end of the week. We also worked on counting by 5s and 10s. Patrick did well with his 10s and was motivated to count well past 100. He did good with the 5s, but will need a little more practice:) We will continue with skip counting and counting mixed change over the next few weeks.
