Label and Write!
These pages were a HUGE hit and really took some time to complete…
First, she began by labeling the picture using the word bank. She was able to read dog, boy, sled and hat. When we came to the word scarf we worked on sounding it out.
We even erased things when they were incorrect 😉
hen we wrote a sentence!
Here sentence was:
The boy is pulling the dog.
As you can see, we get a little fancy with our y’s!

Count the ten frames and use the color code to color the skates…
We actually started with the one that had 20 in it and worked backwards. I explained that when 2 ten frames were fill, that was the same as 10+10. We know that 10+10 = 20
The visual aspect of 2 ten frames that were filled made it easy for her to see 20.
The visual aspect of 2 ten frames that were filled made it easy for her to see 20.
Then we worked on finding (counting) 19.
We know that 19 is one less than 20
EASY!

Begin by cutting out the snowman ruler…
Measure the pencil…
Measure your hand…
Measure a glue stick…
Measure your shoe! TOO MUCH FUN!!
She LOVED being able to measure the items, count the snowmen and record her answer!
