This morning, Libby was able to complete the chapter 1 test on how to model adding within 10, show adding to a group, model putting together, and show adding in any order.

She worked on several activities learning to recognize and use the sounds of words beginning with the letters H and M. She reread her old story, "Six Kids," and read her new story, "A Pig for Cliff," which focused on L-blends. She was able to pick out and discuss key details from each story.

Before Libby finished her chalk pastel drawing, she wanted to make some clothes for her Labubu doll named Sesame. We practiced the following skills: 1) sketching a design in her sketchbook, 2) measuring Sesame's neck width and torso length with a ruler, 3) carrying scissors safely, and 4) cutting material. Libby learned about width and length and inches. We made Sesame a lovey apron trimmed in Ric Rac. Then Libby finished her large chalk pastel drawing. She used water and brushes to turn the pastels into paint and then added glue and glitter. I think Libby is ready to start painting on canvas. Her love of abstraction and use of color are very impressive!
