This year Claire worked on number recognition and number value, in order to make it a little more fun for her and help her recognize numbers I started playing games with numbers in them, we've got quite the stash now... Trouble, which was also great for strength and fine motor skills ( moving the piece around the board, and pushing the center to make the dice pop!) Hi Ho Cherry O, Fish bowl counting, Gems in a treasure chest, don't spill the beans, and a dice that is 12 sided.
We've had so much fun with these and not only does it help with numbers but she's learned turn taking and I always throw some speech in...like My turn....Your turn...what number is it, roll again, etc. With Claire it's all about keeping it interesting, well I must admit it helps me too!
Cute pic Wendy, she's doing so well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful teacher you are, I'd forgotten all about Hi Ho Cherry O. she looks as though she is concentrating very well. Good to see her doing new things. She's a doll! Hugs, Pearl
ReplyDeleteYou GO, Claire!!! She does a great job on her IPad, too.
ReplyDeleteWendy - sounds like you both are learning. Trouble is a great game...I used to play it with my nieces. Hope you had a beautiful Mother's Day.
