I made a cute bear for Kaleb to feed blueberries to using the tongs for fine motor practice. He rolled some dice and had to feed the bear the number of blueberries he rolled.
He put the numbered blueberries in order from 1 through 20.
He found the b's in the blueberry bushes and stamped them blue.
He went alphabet blueberry picking around the house. I hid a blueberry for each letter which he found around the house. He then put the letters in order.
He measured his hand print against that of an actual bear. Do you see how big that paw is?
We discussed real and fake bears and sorted the facts between the two.
He made blueberry pictures using a cork. He stamped blueberries with blue paint and made a picture.
He counted out each number using glass marble blueberries. He used this ten frame worksheet to practice counting his numbers.
He compared numbers using the glass marbles and dice.
I found some magnets at a thrift store and I placed them on the magnet board. He placed the beginning sounds under each one. We definitely had fun rowing this book and I hope to continue rowing since our situation has changed. We still have a few Before Five in a Row books left before we can move on to Five in a Row. We may just get to them this year:) Sorry for the late post but I though you would enjoy seeing it. Have a great day.
