- did a sample of the glyph we're doing for math homework.

- What Can I Do If I'd Like to Extend the Lessons ?
- pour out some nickels on the table.The child guesses how much money in all,after telling you how much each nickel is worth. Then your child touches each coin,moves it over and counts out loud. See if the guess was right. Too much? Too little.
- do the same with pennies,two at a time.Dimes first.Tens are easier than counting by twos.
- If your child learns better by movement, try marching in place as they skip count,or take giant steps,or sway...be creative,get a rhythm going. Sing the numbers.
- don't always begin at the beginning..count from 15 to 115, or 20 to 190.
- remember...Your child counts!...double entendre intended.
- listen to child read aloud for ten min. nightly. If you need a more difficult or easier book,talk with me.
see you tomorrow night....and remember to keep in touch.
