This morning, Libby worked on a number sense activity on the numbers 0 through 10. We used flashcards showing numbers as numerals, number words, tallies, within 10 frames, and as groups of objects. All of the cards were laid out in groups and Libby started with zero and worked up to ten, matching all of the flashcards. She was encouraged to quickly recognize the tallies and ten frames without counting and use the number reference on her wall to find the number words.

Libby completed her interactive calendar. She read her
vocabulary words. She worked on her calendar talk activity. She finished her Ant notebook. She read, discussed, and completed a graph pertaining to her Scholastic News magazine.

Libby and I began with a game to practice subitizing objects up to five. I quickly put a group of objects on her desk and covered them with a cloth. Then, Libby was asked, "How many are under the cloth?” This activity was to encourage Libby to recognize amounts without counting.

Libby listened to stories, modeled quick pictures to show what was happening, and wrote equations.
