What did we do with it?
I cut out an apple core out of white paper and cut it into puzzle pieces. One side of each piece would match only on side of another piece. Then I glued the red top and bottom the core pieces that would end up of the top and bottom.
JDaniel's job was to put the pieces in order and then glue them onto a piece of blue paper. It took a lot of figuring to get the pieces just right.

Apple Button Count
A counting strip with apple core was placed out with a cup of buttons for JDaniel to count with. He started by counting from 1-10. Each apple core needed to have the correct number of buttons on it.
Then I took away all the odd numbered sets of buttons and we counted by twos. We could have added the button onto the apple cores by twos instead. Maybe we will do that next time.

ReplyDeletealso, were your ears burning yesterday? we pulled into the Harley Shop here and the car parked at the entrance had a memorable car tag: JDANIEL --- Marc was like...
