This coming week the kids are finally celebrating the 100th day of school (a bit belated due to snow days) so Owen’s weekend homework was to count out 100 small things to bring to class. Since both kids HAD TO HAVE Froot Loops but it turns out neither really like them, we use them whenever we can for art and school projects (you may remember them on his disguised Thanksgiving turkey). 🙂
Counting out one each in 10 cups.
Thankfully it didn’t take that long to put 100 pieces in the cups one at a time. 🙂
Along the way I tried to teach him a little bit of math—reinforcing counting by twos, fives, and tens and how counting by tens relates to beginning multiplication (4 x 10 = 40 is the same as counting 10-20-30-40). We’ll see if it sticks. 🙂
