This morning, Libby began with adding 1 basic facts practice. Then, we worked on our lesson on how to use pictures to show adding to a group. Libby listened to problems and drew quick pictures to find the total number of objects. Then, she counted groups of objects, circled the larger group, and used counting on to find the total amounts.
Libby reviewed and practiced the short vowel sounds for a,e,i,o, and u. She read and practiced writing her spelling words 3xeach, put them in ABC order, and wrote a sentence for the first 4 words. She learned about what a sentence is and wrote the definition into her rule book.
Libby created and designed a "Mini Me" artwork where she was able to design and craft her hair, a bow in her hair, her face, her shirt, her arms and hands, her legs in pants, and her shoes. She glued the parts together to create a mini Libby.
Libby demonstrated good use of skill in coloring, assembling, and design. We are off to a great start!
Libby had a great first day. She was concerned about having forgotten math over the summer, but she did a great job, boosting her confidence. We began chapter 1, which will cover how to model adding within 10, show adding to a group, model putting together, and show adding in any order. Today, Libby completed the 'Show What You Know' and vocabulary builder on addition concepts. Then, we played a quick game of addition bingo with sums to eight.
