Today Penny was assessed on her current math skills with counting to 100. Penny did well up until 50 and was not sure of the numbers 50, 60, 70, 80, 90. Penny also was mixing up the numbers 6 and 9. We also practiced writing numbers 1-10 and counting in real life with counting trees, gummy bears, and so forth. Lastly, Penny worked on computer math practice on Starfall.com.

Created bark art by using a pencil, crayon, and paper. Placed the paper against different tree trunks to get a pattern on the paper. Collected sticks to make our "Thanks"giving tree. Cut out pink and purple "leaves". Talked about what we say "thank you" to God about to then write on the leaves.

Played "Guess Who" and the spaghetti game.

Penny confidently drew lines from the name of a body part to the corresponding body part in a picture. We went over the five senses and what body part is used for each sense. Given a picture, Penny did well determining which sense(s) the object would use. We talked about wearing different clothes in different types of weather. Penny sorted clothes by the type of weather in which they would be worn. Penny 'painted' on the computer for the last few minutes.

Penny placed the arms, created a tail, placed the tail, and we created the shoulder pads.
