We all have fun days we look forward to, especially in the summer. In our house we are counting down until we see May 18th! I chose to do a countdown, this time, so that Stella could tell me how many days left before we leave...instead of having to count something out everyday. I like countdowns...it gives us something to look forward to! :)
make it easy: number recognition: mark off a number everyday (what number are we crossing out today? how many days left until we leave?)
make it hard: what number comes before 19? after we mark 18 off, how many will we have left?
Even though this appears to be all math and numbers, it's also a pre-reading skill. Being able to identify before and after are preparing little minds to comprehend parts of a story...beginning, middle and end.
What are you looking forward to this summer?
