They eagerly explored the letter fish magnets, puzzles, and zipper folders, showing excitement and curiosity that immediately turned into learning. The bubble timers and velcro activities have helped students stay focused and develop independence. Next, we are building on these skills by using the ten frames and addition sets to strengthen number sense, while continuing literacy practice with CVC building and matching.
