Thirteen

We spent yesterday counting to thirteen.  'Peanut' our flying squirrel puppet stacked 13 blocks in group time.  We counted and beaded 13 wooden beads.

Wooden beads with shoelaces are a great tool for fine motor skills, color and shape recognition, and patterning.  We use a tray to keep the loose beads from scattering all over the floor.

We glued 13 square pieces onto the paper.  Sometimes I think we repeat the same projects for different numbers too often, but this project works well for the kids I have at Henle House right now.  As long as it works, I am IN!

 A bakers dozen (13) of biscuits finished off our day of thirteen.  YUM!  Best biscuit recipe ever.  If you want the recipe, shoot me a message and I'll get it to you.  We really enjoyed our outside time yesterday- it was so nice to have a break from the pouring rain and snow!   Today it will be exceptionally warm- 61 degrees.  ☼  Happy Thursday!

Song for today is a great live performance by led Zeppelin. 'The Ocean'.  It sounds even BETTER than the recorded version, I think!☼
