So here is what I did for the continuation of the moon into night time. First I read "The Night is Like an Animal" by Candace Whitman. It has pretty illustrations done in water colors but I think the idea was a little to abstract for the kids. However, I don't know what's going on in their heads and do know they have good imaginations.
After the book, I had then put glow in the dark stars on their night sky that made their moons from last time. To stick the stars on, they need to pull off the back paper which is a fine motor skill that they did well on. I know last year Hailey was not able to do that.
They kept putting their stars on the moon instead of around that moon which I found
intriguing.
Robert had fun poking at his puffy moon.
Next, we raced back to the couch for "Chick Chick 1, 2, 3" since numbers also starts with the letter N. Hailey can count 1-10 without any problems. She has most of the numbers for 1-20 except she can't pronounce 13 and generally skips 16 and 17.
Then I pulled all my old scrapbook alphabet stickers and cut the numbers stickers away from the letters so they can put it on their "N's".
In this picture above, Hailey is telling Hannah that she is counting wrong. Hannah is counting how many numbers she is putting down while Hailey recognizes which number it is and is trying to correct Hannah. Hailey got frustrated but the situation is cute and a little out of character for Hailey. It shows her assertive side.
Audrey did a nice job putting the numbers on her N and got the most done. Hailey was just too distracted by Hannah to put much on hers.
I am going to try to turn this into a file folder game.
Then I copied some worksheet pages that dealt with the number one.
He did pretty good about drawing a straight line to write the number one.
Then I wanted him to glue only one object of each item to the number one.
