For school today, we put the books on the shelf and the math manipulatives in a bin and tied on our aprons.
Earlier in the day I pre-dotted the letters for a recipe in Emily’s Journey book. She traced the letters and sounded out the words for reading and writing.
Then for math, we made the recipe. She counted all the scoops and we even talked about fractions when we cut half of something.
Normally, about halfway through backing something Emily gets board or unruly and I send her off to play while I finish up. This time, she did wonderful. I think she knew what to expect because we had read the recipe and knew what we were going to do with it. It was great fun!
